I cannot but rejoice over the decision of the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the United States to buy The Ark and The Dove Retreat House where the Renewal had its first visible manifestation back in 1967. How we would be happy if we could purchase the Jerusalem Cenacle where the first Pentecost took place! Let us at least purchase the humble place where the “new Pentecost” in Catholic Church began. I encourage all brothers and sisters of Renewal worldwide to contribute generously to this project which will help in keeping the flame burning till it reaches the whole Church.
