Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, increase in us our Faith, Hope and Charity.

Here are some Quotes from our two Popes: "Let us rediscover dear brothers and sisters,the beauty of being baptized in the Holy Spirit;let us be aware again of our baptism and our confirmation,sources of grace that are always present"-Pope Benedict XVI. "Come Holy Spirit, and make ever more fruitful the charisms You have bestowed on us"-Pope John Paul II.

The Catholic Charismatic renewal is an authentic part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church faithful to our Lords teachings for 2000 years.

As the Mass is the fulfillment of John 6:35-59 when we take communion and are part of the covenant made at the last supper.

So the Charismatic movement is part of the Catholic Church spoken about in Acts2:1-47 and 1 Cor 12:1-31

@alfredpangchichiang there is a video you might enjoy...if nothing else skip to the 4:55 mark and watch JP2 and his love for his flock. listen to his response to them. the title is "Catholic Charismatic History"

@alfredpangchichiang also, Pope John Paul II and Benedict the XVI wouldn't have Fr. Cantalamessa as their own personal preacher if there wasn't profound truth to what he had to say. I am telling you, that with the love I have for Jesus Christ and His Church - The Catholic Charismatic Renewal is a work of our Holy Spirit! Praise be to Him for this great Gift!!!

I echo the words of Jesus and JP2 with reference to the Renewal: "Be not afraid!"

@alfredpangchichiang Orthodoxy is a beautiful thing! and it is so necessary. But we must learn to breathe with both lungs. The gifts of miracles, healing, etc. are commonplace in the lives of the Saints because the were so caught up in the mystery of God. We too, are meant to be those kinds of witnesses to the world simply because we are Catholics. Because we have been baptized we are no longer "normal" in this world. We are aliens as St. Paul says, and these gifts we possess are a sure sign.

@alfredpangchichiang I must say you are correct about "baptism in the Holy Spirit" not being a sacrament, it never will be defined as such because it isn't. But it is a surrendering of our spirit to the Holy Spirit - a deep INTERIOR "fiat" that is "spoken" with authenticity from the heart. When this is given, the graces received through our Sacramental Baptism are in a sense stirred up within us and we are brought to life in a way like never before. Just like the Apostles in the early Church.

Father Raniero gave a beautiful homily this Good Friday which I would love to hear here in English.

This is EXACTLY what Jesus wants us to be doing!! Father John Parnell+

You probably know already but just in case you don't Father's last name "Cantalamessa" in its literal Italian sense means: Chants (Sings) the Mass ...what a beautiful name for an inspired and inspiring priest!

[karpov89]
