The man who is filled with the Holy Spirit speaks in different languages.--St. Anthony of Padua, priest
St. Anthony goes on to say these different languages are different ways of witnessing to Christ, "such as humility, poverty, patience and obedience; we speak in those languages when we reveal in ourselves these virtues to others." Humility, poverty, patience and obedience are not easy languages to master! But, we have the best teacher in Jesus. He lived these virtues for the apostles, and when Pentecost came they remembered what to say and what to do. We must never give up, even when it seems we will never speak these languages fluently. God is able to do the impossible in us. His language is love.
