14. You shall spread to humanity the good news that it is already living during the era of the Holy Spirit, of this era which has been announced by great signs in nature, in order to open the eyes of the men of science to the truth, to move the heart of the sinner toward regeneration, and to cause the world to penetrate into meditation.
