"The Charismatic Renewal is a current of grace of the Spirit for all the Church, not just for some" - Pope Francis
Social Media Connections
From the early days, The Alton Day of Renewal has been blessed and guided by the charism or gift of prophecy. But what is prophecy? One simple definition is “a gift of speaking a message from God inspired by the Holy Spirit.”
Prophecy isn’t primarily about telling the future. It’s primarily giving us current insight into God’s plan and His Word, calling us back to what’s already been revealed in public revelation.
Prophecy reminds us of the Gospel and the heart of Christianity. It’s always a call to repentance, to return to our first love and faithfulness to the covenant. These prophecies don’t add anything to revelation, but they say, “Right now is a critical time, and we need to pay attention to Jesus right now.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church
CCC #66 “...even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made fully explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries”
Discernment
CCC # 801 "... discernment of charisms is always necessary. No charism is exempt from being referred and submitted to the Church's shepherds. "Their office [is] not indeed to extinguish the Spirit, but to test all things and hold fast to what is good," [LG 12; cf. 30; 1 Thess 5:12, 19-21; John Paul II, Christifideles Laici, 24] so that all the diverse and complementary charisms work together "for the common good." [1 Cor. 12:7]
Prophecies quoted on this website have been discerned by the Core Group of Alton Day of Renewal and our Spiritual Director/Chaplain.
We strive to abide by the highest standards of ministry, as explained in this Prophecy Guidelines document
Fr Pat has a powerful prophetic ministry and the video HERE recorded in November 2024, explains why prophecy and Baptism in the Spirit are so important for the Church and the world as we face up to a challenging yet ultimately hopeful future.
