Hi,

As far as finding a local group, try Google. If you try ‘Catholic Charismatic Renewal’ it should lead you to a site with a list of local prayer groups. (Sorry I can’t be more helpful but I’m not at home right now.)

Assuming that you’ve been confirmed, you receive this blessing by prayer. You are already indwelt by the Holy Spirit. When you find a group, they can help you. There’s a short study that was written called ‘Life in the Spirit’ which can help by showing you the scriptural basis for it. Many groups have classes which use the booklet.

I hope this helps.

I just want to let you know that I fully support the Catholic Charismatic Movement 100%. I just back from Steubenville on the Bayou in Homa, Louisiana. The conference was led by the bishop of the Diocese of Homa, Louisiana. It was such an amazing experience and I definitely felt the outpouring of the Holy Spirit during Eucharistic Adoration.
I have a question for you. Why is there so much controversy between Catholics when it comes to the Charismatic Renewal?

It’s best you don’t ask – you will invite a stampede of negativity from those who hate the movement. Just follow your heart and the lead of Our Lord.

Hi,

I’ll try this one. Just as there is much friction between the TLM, and NO groups, there is also friction between both those groups and CCR.

Many believe CCR is more protestant. Perhaps because some of these groups do not have the Catholic connection and authority which they are supposed to have. If you join a group which is connected to a Catholic Church, (parish, shrine or mission, etc), you can be confident that it is authentic Catholic.

Also many people do not like the enthusiastis praise, which is part of Charismatic worship. I believe the biggest controversary is over praying in tongues. Many traditional (TLM & NO) Catholics, cannot accept that this is a gift of the Spirit.

any Charismatic person i have met has always been a very good Catholic, following the sacraments and devoted to Christ.

may i ask what other groups are there? i have had the desire to join a lay community but am completely unaware of any, other than the Charismatic groups. are there other communities that may be a little more contemplative, that also meet regularly (i.e. weekly or monthly)? the great attraction to the Charismatic groups is the sense of community and belonging, and i think it is very beneficial to have people around you to rely on for spiritual growth.
 
Hi,

I know of a Franciscan center for Spirituality, which prays weekly in a more contemplative manner, but I don’t know of any directory which lists places like these.

Mother Nadine Brown of the Intercessors of the Lamb is both charismatic and contemplative. Very powerful prayer combination.
It also inspires confidence in the love of God. I believe hers is the real thing.

AWESOME!

Was Deacon Mel Marts there?

We are from Steubenville, though it has been 28 years it still seems like home 😃 I remember have a group of young people at Steubenville for a conference - it poured rain the whole time - I walked outside and for some reason looked up, there was an awesome golden yellow cross over the tent in the heavens.

Steubenville conferences no matter where they are, are just awesome.

ok, i am not the brightest bulb in the box so please be patient withe me, but i just did a search online for these orders you listed (except EWTN) and i could only find resources on the carmelite lay orders, and they just listed prayer requirements members should do at home (which seemed a bit unrealistic given i work full time and am beginning a family). this doesn’t really seem to be very community oriented, in the way the charismatic groups are.

i am not really into all the singing and hand-waving of the charismatics, but they seem to be the only groups that are readily available, offer a good sense of community, and don’t expect any thing too unrealistic in terms of commitment. am i just searching in the wrong places? am i just not understanding something? do other people not really care about having a Catholic community to belong to (except the charismatics)?

Sorry, I guess I mis-read what you were asking for. I don’t know what diocese you are from, but check with your dioceasen office and find out what lay apostalates are in your area. That can be a starting point for you, then the people involved usually know what else is happening in town.

I was a part of a charismatic prayer group in my early teens. It was a great help to the growth of my faith, and I eventually left that group as I grew more contemplative in my prayer life.

Now, at the age of 40, and as a single mom, having a Catholic community to belong to matters more than ever. But I know the charismatic groups are not for me at this point in my life. So I play the piano for one of the choirs, I volunteer for the youth ministry, and I attend various parish functions as they come up. The choir is where I’ve made my strongest (and most fulfilling) connections.

My point, if I had one, is to participate in the aspects of the community that “speak” to you. If your parish does not have a ministry or group that works for you, do as a previous poster said and check out your diocesan resources – see what they have going and find out how you might fit in. Communication is key to creating the connections you are seeking.

God bless you.

You receive the Holy Spirit at baptism. We are baptised in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
