Hi,
I just wanted to ask couple things on this same topic. My husband is from India and has visited Potta Divine Retreat since he was a kid. He has a gift of tongue, which means that most of the time when praying or attending mass his tongue starts making clapping noise without him talking or anything it starts from nowhere.
Last weekend he persuaded me a protestant convert to catholicism and a deep lover of tradition (gregorian singing etc) to a meeting place of Catholic charismatic renewal. We went and in the middle of praising something happened to me. I heard and felt my heart starting to say with each beat ‘Jesus’, it still continues and goes away, and starts at prayer time fading away and starting again.
In the end there was blessing by a sister who is said to have gift of heeling people by the Holy Spirit.
When she started to move towards me praying over people, I started to hear again the continues calling of Jesus’ name by my every heartbeat.
As soon as she started praying over me, I saw a light and everything around me fell away. Few moments later I was collecting myself from the floor.
As the Opus Dei cooperator kind of catholic, I am deeply moved to the core. Yet I am also feeling ashamed that it happened to me. I do not understand what was going on. Maybe some one else can help me there? Anyone with experience with charismatic catholic renewal? I have been even going through google but I seem to catch all the articles saying that it is not HolySpirit, but the ‘‘other company’’ doing it (need an exorcism??). On the other hand the experience was itself not negative. I would say rather positive, but then my old thoughts are nagging me. I used to call these people ‘‘the Halleluja league’’.
Thanks for reading my vent, and any (name removed by moderator)ut would be highly appreciated.
