Facts About The Catholic Renewal

By Marissa Velazquez


A deep focus on prayer and the Holy Spirit are major elements in the Catholic Renewal movement. Since the abundant presence of God gives the church more of a sense of purpose, fresh energy will come from these two directions. Via intercession, people who have faith can bring more divine power into their lives. This gives them the drive to live in accordance with the Word and serve other human beings.

Popes Francis and Benedict have displayed signs of this particular change within the way Catholic structure has traditionally been. They have both asked crowds of laity to remember them in the requests that they ring to God. Instead of prayer being one sided with elders praying for laity. In the movement, all believers are encouraged to be responsible for praying for each other.

Pope Francis has publicly emphasized the important role that the Holy Spirit plays in pushing believers beyond their limitations. The Comforter is able to bring encouragement but He also prods people so that they live better lives and do not let temporary things become an impediment to successful living. He gives an added desire to take on new spiritual challenges.

The Catholic Renewal has enriched the lives of many who were struggling to find hope amid challenging times and it will continue to serve as a vehicle through which the church can grow. Some are concerned about the impact that this movement will have but the fact that it has encouraged many cannot be denied. People who are receiving support from neighbors and friends find that so much richer when Christ is their guiding force.

The movement was initially recognized at the end of Vatican Council Two. Prophecy after prophecy, along with miraculous healing, signaled that the body would undergo changes. It reminded onlookers that their faith was not just about what they could see or read. It was a living experience that was based on power that was big enough to take them over the hurdles that they faced daily.

The pure faith that younger and older believers show can move mountains. Unbridled joy may sometimes move individuals to expressions that appear different from what is typically seen. However persons who are expressing what they feel inside usually have a lot to celebrate. Their relationship with God has brought them something that they feel inclined to share.

Individuals who hold on to the Word, believing what God has explicitly promised them for their lives, expect more from Him. This expectation changes how they view their relationships with others and what they hope to achieve in their own lives. They want better in terms of relationships between God and mankind among their friends and neighbors and strive for less discord and more understanding.

Elements in the Catholic Renewal movement have given assembles all over the world new life. Its effect has reached people who previously were standoffish about having a relationship with their creator. It has richly blessed individuals who find themselves in a number of other congregations, including Pentecostal and Evangelical, thus showing the the church truly is one body.
