The Catholic Charismatic Renewal is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church that began in the late 1960s. It emphasizes a personal experience of the Holy Spirit, often characterized by spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and healing. This movement seeks to deepen the faith of participants and encourage a more vibrant and active expression of worship. The Renewal is rooted in the belief that the Holy Spirit continues to work in the lives of believers today. It promotes community prayer, fellowship, and a commitment to evangelization, drawing inspiration from the early Church and the teachings of Pope John XXIII and Vatican II.
