Why are waiting for Catholic Charismatic worship services to happen in the United Kingdom?
My name is Rachel Obanubi and I was baptised as a Catholic as a child. I attended Catholic schools to the age of 19 where I attended mass also. I still from time to time attend to my Catholic childhood church services for mass in the weekdays.
The trend has been though that Charismatic Catholic church services that use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit have been resurging in America, Latin American countries and African countries.
We are now seeing in the UK prayer services for Gifts of the spirit in Catholic church’s such as the Westminster Catherdal group, St Boniface Group and Tooting prayer groups in London. These services however typically span several hours, some last for 2hrs 30 mins-4 hours for these services and are held in the evening on a weekday which is not possible for many people in the community to attend. These are not formal services where you can receive communion which are typically concluded within one hour.
As a teenager I was gifted with one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. This has resided with me and has been instrumental in my life. There is a movement and we need to follow it.
It is a joy for me to see now the subtle movement of Charismatic Catholic church’s and services worldwide. This though really needs to filter down to the UK with shorter services. It is about time.
I have wanted to refer some people who seem to be seeking more of a spiritual content to a worship service but one that is also shorter in duration. I cannot wait to sit and worship and observe such a church service in my lifetime. This combination seems ideal to me. This is the time and what are we waiting for.
It is time to move so we provide more Charismatic services of worship of shorter duration in the week or weekend.
We are seeing a resurgence of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in our spiritual life and we need to meet that need. I would desire to attend and observe such a service in my lifetime. I have seen growth in the Anglican church with their healing and wholeness services using the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to manifest healing using the Gifts of the Holy Spirit on parishioners. This now needs to reverberate to my Catholic brothers and sisters through their services.
The challenge is yours.
Let us remind ourselves that the prophet Joel wrote that the gifts of the Holy Spirit will be further poured out on the earth again (Acts 2 16-21) and will continue until the Perfect one returns, which is Jesus.
In faith hope and respect

After some extensive research I have found something which is most similar to what I have been searching for and is showing some initiative.

This service to in the UK which is aimed more at young people seems to be thriving in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and worship as well.
