"He will baptise you with the
Holy Spirit...”
This programme was originated and conducted in response to the following appeal by Pope Francis:
"I ask each and all of you that, as part of the current of grace of Charismatic Renewal, you organise seminars of Life in the Spirit in your parishes"
OVERVIEW
Jesus instructed the Church to share his Good News with the world; but he knew that Christians would need supernatural power to enable them to do this, so he promised to baptise them in the Holy Spirit. The Church today needs to experience this power just as the first disciples did.
"I would ask you to share baptism in the Holy Spirit with everyone in the Church...." - Pope Francis
SEMINARS IN YOUR PARISH
The videos can be streamed from our website to a large group, if a Parish has a computer linked to a projector; but we can also envisage a small prayer group gathering round a laptop to watch in someone’s home.
It could be really helpful in places where there is currently no prayer group, just one or two people with a vision for renewal, who might invite two or three others to a low-key, home-based course.
The first seven sessions are normally used on a weekly basis for a Life in the Spirit Seminar course. The other sessions could be added on either immediately or at a later date.
