FROM THE STAFF:
Bishop Tom Flanagan and Ros Hernandez
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever! The 40 hours of
Prayer at the CCCR during the Pentecost weekend certainly reminded us that
Jesus is Alive in the Holy Spirit and continues to transform His people.
Pope John XXIII prayed before the Second Vatican Council: “Renew us as
in a new Pentecost.” God answered the prayer by giving the Church this great
movement of the Spirit called Charismatic Renewal and whose vision is: To renew
the grace of Pentecost in the life and mission of the Church.
Perseverance in the power of the Holy Spirit will overcome all
obstacles. Every person who has been touched by God with this special grace
should not sit idle for one moment. Come to the meetings and be renewed again
so that together we can help the Church renew the grace of Pentecost in the
“New Evangelization” which Pope John Paul II said should be new in its “ardor
and zeal.” That my brothers and sisters,
is what we do!
The Cenacle of Prayer for the Americas in Miami on Pentecost weekend
showed us that unity in the Spirit, whether in the small groups or
internationally, is very important in answer to Jesus’ prayer “that all may be
one” (John 17:20). I (Ros) witnessed the power of unity when members from all
over the
Fiesta con Cristo - Concierto
y Cena. A Fiesta with Christ – Concert & Dinner will be held on June 24th
at
Archdiocesan Service Committee. We thank Ray & Mary Ellen Rossman for their
service to the Committee. Ray served as chairman and Mary Ellen served as
secretary. Ray was also Conference Coordinator. He and Mary Ellen did an
outstanding job in coordinating events and leading the Renewal and they will
continue to work with the CCCR as needed. We welcome James and Terri Chavez and
Fr. Will Combs. James is the new chairman. They bring with them experience in leading
youth groups and zeal for Evangelization in the power of the Holy Spirit.
“
“Domingo Carismático” will be on June 26.
Mr. David Herrera and his group of “Evangelists” will lead the praise and
worship and preach the Word of God. Fr. Pedro Molina will celebrate the Mass
and lead the healing service.
Remember, there’s always more.
Lets continue to pray for one another that “all may be one.” God bless
each of you, your families, and your prayer communities.

SPECIAL LEADERS SECTION by Ray Rossman
June 2005 - The Spirit is moving in
What can we learn from this?
I am often reminded that the CCR is a gift to the Church today and that those
who are called to leadership have an obligation to the Holy Spirit to allow Him
to actively work within us and through us. We have an obligation to seek
intimacy with God on a daily basis and to use the gifts to promote the common
good of the Body of Christ. I might use the analogy that choosing to live our
Catholic faith with the power of the Spirit is akin to a choice of seats at a
Spurs playoff game. Do you want to see the game from the first row or from the
upper balcony? We need to stay involved in the CCR and not allow Satan to
distract or discourage us and we need to recognize that when we see people
drawn into the reality of “Jesus Is Lord” we are involved in a miraculous work
of the Holy Spirit that Christ has asked us to do.
God Bless You! Ray Rossman
FR. EINER OCHOA’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ORDINATION
The celebration at St. Agnes on May 22, to which all the
“movements” were invited, was blessed with the spirit of unity. Leaders from
the different streams of the renewal were presented to Archbishop Gomez. Each
leader spoke briefly as to what their ministry is in the Archdiocese. Ros
Hernandez spoke on behalf of the Charismatic dimension of the Church. Thanks to
attendees who represented the charismatic renewal. May God continue to bless
Fr. Einer with all the supernatural graces of the Holy Spirit as he serves the
Body of Christ, the Church.
