Praise and Worship, and the prayer of the Church (Divine Office)

Just want to share something that I wrote last year, in fact february last year. I am reminded of this article when Fr. William Goh (SACCRE Spiritual director) shared his reflection on praise and worship and Divine Office. It’s beautiful indeed. He encourages us in the charismatic renewal to also pray the prayer of the Church, the Divine Office. It’s solidly based on the word of God, which our praise and worship session should be also. He mentioned that the praise and worship sessions is similar in structure to the Divine Office.

anyway, this is a reflection that I wrote on praise and worship, I hope it benefits some of you.

Books by Cardinal Suenens on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal

Amazing, I found from a forum the out-of-print copy of the many writings of Cardinal Suenens on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

I have provided the link from The Emmaus Wiki, you can simply go to:

http://theemmaus.wiki.zoho.com/Catholic-Charismatic-Renewal.html

You will find the link under “Voice from the Church”. I think one of the most interesting article is on the “Resting in the Spirit”. I think we have to discern further. Following the suggestion by Suenens, from now on, I will try to call it “Falling Phenomenon” instead. We should not encourage it in public worship such as healing rally, prayer meeting, life in the spirit seminar, etc.
