Is it contemplative charismatic or both for us?

Which way does the church sway? I don’t see much of a relationship to the Holy Spirit in the charismatic stance in the church, why is this Is it that the church wishes contemplative?

Could you please rephrase this a bit, it’s not quite clear what you are asking. Thanks. (The Holy Spirit, btw, is very involved in contemplation. )

I am not understanding the question. There is no inherent conflict between a charismatic spirituality and a contemplative one.

For me, every time I receive the Holy Eucharist, I also receive the Spirit of Christ.

I have no conflict with church protocol. I notice that many of the church relate to contemplative relating to praise. Very much in the form of Rosary, silent prayer generally, before and after communion, in adoration, etc. There is also the other I notice and that is the more open form of what is related to as charismatic and it is more verble more dance and song related open prais, deliverance healing and other.I am asking how the church relates in the open congregation say in church sunday worship.

I was for years in the charismatic group and leading, although contemplative time was always there. I now relate more contemplative and find times of open sharing verble prayer minimal. Which form relates dominently in our Catholic way?

I think you realise what I am asking water individually. Do you think that others receive the same way as you do?
Is your receiving the Holy Eucharist charismatic, or contemplative or the pure combination of both as I believe it is?
This is my question sorry it is confusing.

I don’t think either is “dominant”. Charisms and Contemplation are both considered by the church to be appropriate forms of spiritual expression. However, the Mass is dominated by Liturgical expression, and although it may have both Charismatic and Contempletive aspects woven into it, they are subject to proper liturgy at that time and place. In a non-liturgical gathering, there is much more flexibility to either of these expressions. I don’t think I understand your question either!

there is no conflict or competition.
the Holy Spirit anoints all those confirmed in the faith with His charismatic gifts, and those gifts are released in those who ask for them for the purpose of building up the Church. All receive the individual gifts as well for their own strength and wisdom. The charismatic gifts are released when needed by the Church and used by individuals according to how well they are disposed to cooperate with the action of the Holy Spirit.

All Christians are called to contemplation, it is the end of all prayer and scripture reading and sacramental encounters with Jesus Christ.

God bless
