According to St. Paul, he who distributes to each his own gifts as he wills (1 Cor. 12:11), pours out into the People of God a knowledge of its truths. If this does not great wealth of graces both for prayer and contemplation and for action. happen, there is a danger of superficiality, extreme subjectivism and They are charisms: lay people receive them too, especially in relation to their mission in illusion. the Church and society. The Second Vatican Council stated this in connection with St. Paul: "The Holy Spirit also distributes special graces among the faithful of every rank. The new Catechism of the Catholic Church By these gifts he makes them fit and ready to undertake various tasks and offices for should become for every Christian - and the renewal and building up of the Church, as it is written (in St. Paul): 'the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone for profit.'

  • July 2015 in the Last Issue, We Commemorated Renewal Ministries' 35Th Anniversary
    RENEWAL MINISTRIES Proclaiming Jesus through Catholic Renewal and Evangelization Faithful Friends, A letter from Ralph Martin, July 2015 In the last issue, we commemorated Renewal Ministries' 35th anniversary. I hope you were inspired by it. We were. We fi nd it absolutely amazing all that the Lord has done through the “yeses” of so many people over the last 35 years. Thank you for your part in it all. We celebrated the anniversary at the annual Renewal Ministries Gathering. For the fi rst time, we reached the 300-person capacity and had to close registration two weeks before it happened! We will include highlights in an upcoming issue. Recently, Bishop Lesanu Christos Matheos Semahun from Ethiopia came to visit us. He was just named the Bishop of a new diocese which happens to be where the Orthodox Church claims to have custody of the Ark of the Covenant. (It’s a long story and hard to verify since no one is allowed to see the Ark except its Guardian for Life.) You remember the Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon and marveled at his wisdom? And then the Ethiopian eunuch in the Acts of the Apostles who was baptized by the Deacon Philip? They’re all part of a long history of a very ancient Christian Church in Ethiopia. Lloyd and Nancy Greenhaw, along with Fr. Scott McCaig, CC, Moderator of the Companions of the Cross — and a member of our Canadian Board — just returned from a very fruitful trip to Bishop Semahun’s diocese (see p. 6). Also part of the mission team were Joseph and Serah Alumansi from Uganda.

During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things.

That He’s not something to learn about—a proposition to consider or choose to believe or believe in—but someONE to come to know and to relate to day by day. The Gospel’s not a fantasy from a book of tale or teaching from long ago, but a truth—the Truth—which is of life & death importance, as relevant today as 2,000 yrs ago. How was I certain? I saw it in my Mom. Prayer wasn’t just something you did Sundays at church, but rather part of everyday, every situation, because God was and IS with us always. I learned that faith is not just “spiritual speculation” but a flesh & blood matter. Far too often, far too many of us live as though we imagined God–or the gods and/or goddesses, or what- ever—lived in some distant realm, unconcerned about us (if they’re there at all); and, whether or not we really believe, yet we occasionally do things to propitiate them (i.e.
