1) Welcome to Rudy Zamora: Since the beginning of this year Ros Hernandez has no longer been able to help in the office as he has for many years. I am grateful that Rudy Zamora has ac-cepted my invitation to help us in some of the areas that Ros served the Center.. Rudy has been involved with CCCR for many years and already helps with a team that does prayer ministry at the Center. Rudy will help with Spanish speaking calls, the care of our facili-ty, etc.
2) CCCR Webpage: Please contact Fr. Bob ([email protected] or 226-7545) if you have experience in working with web pag-es and would be willing to help the Center in putting information on our webpage.
3) Magnificat Women’s Ministry: Contact Fr. Bob if you have interest in being part of a group to explore whether CCCR can support the start of a Magnificat Ministry. Magnificat is a charismatic min-istry for women that has grown across the country. It brings women together a few times a year for worship, a meal and a speaker.
4) Sending in Articles, Praise Reports and Prophetic Words: At times we will include articles, praise reports and pro-phetic words in a section of Charisletter. When a praise report, teaching or prophetic word seems to be some-thing that should be shared with all our groups, please send these to Fr. Bob. 5) If you want to get e-mail information from CCCR, send your e-mail address to [email protected]. We want your input and want to stay in contact with you! CONTINUED ON PAGE 6……..

By: Mary Esther Lopez Chair-English Service Committee
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: The English Ser-vice Committee (Committee) will hold its annual Strategic Plan Workshop on July 20, 2013 at the Catholic Center for Charis-matic Renewal (CCCR). At this workshop, the Committee will pray to the Holy Spirit for discernment and strength in complet-ing the work as set forth in the 2013-2018 CCCR Strategic Plan. In particular, the Committee will be focusing on imple-menting the Priorities as noted in our 2013 Action Plan which includes: 1) creating two new brochures; 2) seeking Major Do-nors; 3) planning a yearly fundraiser; and 4) developing a year-ly Prayer Group Leader’s Training Day.
In preparing for this workshop, the Lord placed a burden in my heart to express the importance and great need for individuals to volunteer for service especially in the area of leadership not only within the CCCR but through out the San Antonio Archdio-cese. In the last two years, CCCR leadership has made great strides in creating a culture of “leadership” with an emphasis on “team work” in order to encourage Succession Planning within the CCCR community.
The concept of Succession Planning for leadership is not new to the Church. In the Old Testament, sacred scripture notes several instances in which individuals were called by God into leadership. For instance, in Exodus 3:10, God said to Moses, “I am sending you to the King of Egypt so that you can lead my people out of his country.” Also, in Joshua 1: 3-6, “the Lord said to Joshua, “[…] get ready now, […] for you will be the lead-er of these people as they occupy the land which I promised their ancestors. And lastly, in 1 Kings 19:16, the Lord said to Elijah: “You shall anoint son of Shaphat, of Abelmeholah, as prophet to succeed you.”
The calling of individuals by God into leadership does not end with the Old Testament but continues and is plainly seen in the early church as noted in Acts 13:2-3, “ […] the Holy Spirit said to them, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.” Has the Lord stopped calling people to give themselves in service? The answer is NO! On September 28, 2008, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “Surrender yourself to my need for you.”
Brothers and Sisters, the Church is not just Pope Francis I or Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller or Father Bob Hogan, the Church is you and me! Each one of us is called to Stand Up and take our place with Christ in service and in truth. If this message touches your heart and confirms what you have been sensing in your spirit. Do not doubt but place your trust in God and act in faith and call the Catholic Center for Charismatic Renewal at (210) 226-7545 and ask for Father Bob Hogan. Thank you and God Bless You.
Por Mario Fernández Presidente del Comité Hispano
Les envió un saludo fraterno a toda la comunidad reno-vada en el Espíritu Santo. Gracias a Dios y para su glo-ria tuvimos el Día de renovación en Junio y la Noche de Renovación en Julio donde el Señor derramo abundan-tes bendiciones a su pueblo. Quisiera exhortar a todos a que vengan a las Noches de Renovación en el Centro Carismático el Primer Sábado de cada mes a las 6 pm, la próxima reunión será el 3 de Agosto. El propósito de las Noches de Renovación es de dar formación y de tomarnos un momento de Interceder ante el Santísimo Sacramento. El señor nos dice pidan y se les dará y que mejor que hacerlo juntos unidos en el mismo Espíritu. La Noche de Renovación es una noche para renovar-nos y revestirnos del Señor e Interceder ante el mismo, se experimenta el poder y la dulce presencia de Dios que penetra nuestros corazones renovándonos, trans-formándonos y escuchando nuestro clamor. Es un ver-dadero deleite, un banquete espiritual al que todos us-tedes están invitados a participar. Me gustaría compartir brevemente una pequeña refle-xión. Mateo 7, 21-27 No bastará con decirme: ¡Señor!, ¡Señor!, para entrar en el Reino de los Cielos; más bien entrará el que hace la voluntad de mi Padre del Cielo. Aquel día muchos me dirán: ¡Señor, Señor! Hemos hablado en tu nombre, y en tu nombre hemos expulsado demonios y realizado muchos milagros. Entonces yo les diré claramente: Nunca les conocí. ¡Aléjense de mí, ustedes que hacen el mal! Si uno escucha estas palabras mías y las pone en práctica, dirán de él: aquí tienen al hombre sabio y prudente, que edificó su casa sobre roca. Cayó la lluvia, se desbordaron los ríos, soplaron los vientos y se arrojaron contra aquella casa, pero la casa no se derrumbó, porque tenía los cimientos sobre roca. Pero dirán del que oye estas palabras mías, y no las pone en práctica: aquí tienen a un tonto que construyó su casa sobre arena. Nuestro Senor nos habla fuertemente y sin rodeos. Es necesario tener una relacion personal con Jesus antes de poder servirlo y para tener una relacion personal con Jesus tenemos que aceptarlo en nuestros corazones como nuestro se-ñor y salvador, arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados. Vivir una vida Cristiana Sacramental de oracion y sacrificio siguiendo nuestro pastor que es Jesucristo y poniendo en practica sus ensenanzas en cambio si queremos servirlo sin conocerlo y sin obedecer su palabra seria un verdadero desastre y quizas seriamos lobos con piel de Oveja en lugar de Ovejas del rebano sagrado.

The gatherings include time for song, praise and worship, teaching, experiencing the touch of the Holy Spirit and time to socialize. The San Antonio prayer groups are divided into 4 zones.
