| The Catechism of
the Catholic Church states 2689 “Prayer
groups, indeed ‘schools of prayer,’ are today one
of the signs and one of the driving forces of renewal of prayer
in the Church, provided they drink from authentic wellsprings
of Christian prayer. Concern for ecclesial communion is a sign
of true prayer in the Church.” Also, 2695 “Ordained
ministers, the consecrated life, catechesis, prayer groups,
and ‘spiritual direction’ ensure assistance within
the Church in the practice of prayer.” |
What is a Charismatic Prayer Group? We gather
together in worship, joyful praise, thanks, honor in words,
song, silence, witnessing, sharing, and intercessory
prayer in openness to the spiritual gifts.
| “
When we assemble, one has a hymn, another some instruction
to give, still another a revelation to share, one speaks
in a tongue, another interprets. Let all things be
done to build up the community.” (1 Cor. 14:26) |
|
| What is the purpose of the prayer meeting? The
purpose of the prayer group is to praise, worship and honor
God with others and to build up the Body
of Christ through prayer and faith sharing experiences. We
are all children of God – sisters
and brothers in Christ. We are a family. |
How do we prepare for a meeting? We
prepare for the meetings through prayer and scripture
At the meeting, pray as you feel comfortable: in silence,
singing, lifting hands, reading scripture, following
the lead of the Spirit.
Close your eyes to the distractions around you. Rest
in the Spirit. Focus on
God’s unconditional love.
At times, we may pause individually or as a group, to experience the peaceful
grace of the Holy Spirit. |

“Expectant faith is not new efforts. It is new desire.
Growing in expectant faith is growing in desire. The more we
desire, the more we ask for. The more we ask for, the more
we receive.” (There’s Always More: Expecting
New Fire Sr. Nancy Kellar, S.C.)
“
Have I not told you that if you believe you will see the glory
of God?” (John 11:40)
