DIOCESAN PRAYER MEETING

Join us as we gather for a joint meeting of Catholic Charismatic prayer groups in the Scranton Diocese.  Song with a Combined Music Ministry, praise and worship, prophecy (God inspiring someone to speak); tongues (in song, praise, or prophecy); interpretation of tongues; ministering the Gifts of the Spirit to the people gathered in healing, miracles, word of knowledge, etc… (see 1 Cor. 12); scripture reading; teaching; testimony; sharing. (see 1 Cor. 14:26-33). 
 

How Long do Prayer Meetings Last?
Usually a minimum of 1 1/2 hours.

Do I Have to Raise my Hands or Pray Like Others Do?
No you should pray as you feel comfortable as if your were alone with Jesus. Pray as you feel comfortable, but also respect others the way they pray and feel comfortable.

Do I have to Say “Praise the Lord, Alleluia”, etc. as others may do?
No you do not have to say or do anything you are not comfortable with. Just keep open to the Holy Spirit and pray however you wish just PRAY! As we learn why God wants us to praise, we will desire to change our form of worship, but pray as you know how.

The Prayer Meeting Has Only Two Purposes:
1. To praise, worship, and honor God
2. To build up the Body of Christ (as brothers and sisters)
