“LOL.
“Masterfully done.”
Thank you.
“Whatever that’s worth! LOL.”
Whatever it's worth, I will take it as a compliment, and I appreciate all compliments from all sources.
“So, am I to consider you a Charismatic, then?”
Why not? According to the definition previously generated in the other thread, which is that one believes currently in the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit, including prophecy, tongues, healing, etc., I am.
I certainly believe in the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit, and believe that the Holy Spirit has been moving for some time now in the Church and in the ecclesial communities, and has renewed these gifts therein.
I have no problem in principle with the gifts of tongues, of public interpretation of tongues, of prophecy, of healing. I have personally participated in charismatic prayer groups in all these gifts. I've seen real miracles, and experienced a few in my life, myself.
As I said in the other post, the Catholic Church has recognized as valid the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church since the pontificate of Pope Paul VI. Who am I to argue?
I haven't been to a prayer meeting in many years, but there is nothing in principle that I repudiate or renounce of my years in the renewal.
That's not to say that I haven't seen abuses, that I haven't seen unstable people claim things that just don't seem so. Another gift of the Holy Spirit is discernment, and it's important to use it.
“I’m lost about that issue.”
What can I tell ya? It is what it is.

Blessed to read that.
I persistently hear good things about the Pecos retreat center.
Was going to try and go there but that looks a long way off at present.
Blessings,
