"We believe that the Baptism in the Spirit makes real and revitalizes our Baptism."

                      – Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap. (preacher to the Papal Household)

"Baptism in the Spirit is a life-transforming experience of the love of God the Father poured into one's heart by the Holy Spirit, received through a surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ."
