Pope sends message to Charismatic Renewal movement

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has urged members of the Charismatic Renewal to "walk in the newness of life." 

In a Message sent on Saturday through the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy Father called on participants of the 39th Conference of the Rinnovamento nello Spirito ("Renewal of the Spirit") taking place in Rimini, Italy, to "walk in the newness of life, and, made fruitful by personal and communitarian charismatic prayer, contribute with the renewing power of the Gospel to the Christian animation of the secular city." 

The Message said Pope Francis "invokes the abundant gifts of the divine Spirit" on all the groups, communities, and the entire Movement.
