The Catholic Renewal movement is centered around the Holy Spirit and prayer. Since the Comforter breathes life into the church, it makes sense for any fresh energy to come from these directions. Through intercession, people of faith hope to bring more of the power of God into their every day lives. This gives them energy to serve others and live more in accordance with the Gospel of Christ.
Popes Benedict and Francis have shown signs of this change among Catholics. They have requested that ordinary people pray for them. To believers who are not familiar with this refreshing that is happening in the body, that would be a strange request. However the movement emphasizes the fact that believers at every level should pray for each other.
Pope Francis has made reference on several occasions to the role that the Holy Spirit plays in pushing Christians forward to accomplish great things, even what previously seemed impossible. While many people lean on the Comforter for encouragement in difficult times, God can give more than that. He helps believers to change habits that are detrimental to them and gives the energy to pursue lofty spiritual goals.
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 made its first appearance after Vatican Council Two. Prophecies and miraculous healing signaled the beginning of a new period in the body. It reminded those who saw what was happening that their faith could also produce supernatural events. This encouraged observers to look for bigger solutions to everyday problems.
The pure faith that is exhibited by older and younger believers can move mountains. Sometimes unbridled joy moves them to expressions that may be a little different from what is the norm under certain circumstances. However people who have a lot to celebrate are usually unable to let this deter them from expressing how they feel.
The individuals who embrace the Word and believe that what God has said is truth expect more form Him. They expect greater things in their lives and they want more for those they love, whether those individuals are people they have just met or members of their own family. They are guided by the faithfulness that is shown to them every day by a loving Creator Who has no limits.
Elements in the Catholic Renewal movement have injected new life into the church. People grow through prayer and this growth has enabled individuals to reach out beyond traditional walls and embrace those who previously strayed from God. It has immensely blessed individuals who place themselves under the banner of Evangelical or Pentecostal, further uniting the body of Christ.
