The first European explorers called Australia “The Southern Land of the Holy Spirit”. In Ecclesia in Oceania Pope John Paul II wrote:

The Church in Oceania has been endowed by the Holy Spirit with many gifts. For all the great diversity of culture and traditions, she is one in faith, hope and charity, one in Catholic doctrine and discipline, one in the communion of the Most Holy Trinity. In this communion, all are called to live the life of Christ in the midst of their daily activities, to show forth the wonderful fruits of the Spirit (cf. Gal 5:22-23) and to be witnesses to God’s love and mercy in the world.” (n36)

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you will be my witnesses.”
(Acts 1:8)
