Catholic and Charismatic
What does it mean to be 'charismatic'?
The Charismatic Renewal must not be understood as a movement or alternate spirituality within the Catholic Church. Rather, it is a ' current of grace' which God is using to renew and restore the Church. The Holy Spirit not only gives us gifts to make us holy, he also give us the charisms that empower us to be God's witnesses in the world and instruments of his love, healing and compassion to those we meet.
Why is it important to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
Sr Seraphim of Sarox said that the whole Christian life in one invocation of the Holy Spirit. The whole goal of the life of a disciple is to be filled with the Spirit. We all need the graces of our baptism and confirmation to be awakened and realised in us more powerfully.
