	A sign of hope for all people The Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the heart of Pope John Paul II For years to come the memory of Pope John Paul II will remain fresh in the minds and hearts of many. This small booklet compiled by the Director of ICCRS, Oreste Pesare, will help to enrich those memories for the millions of people worldwide who readily identify themselves as members of CCR. Beginning with the Preamble of the revised Statutes of ICCRS which were approved by the Vatican on 30 May 2005, this publication looks at some extracts taken from addresses given by Pope John Paul II during the later years of his Pontificate, and will leave no doubt in the mind of the reader exactly what the Pope thought about CCR. Focusing briefly on Holiness, Prayer, Communion, Formation and Proclamation, this booklet reflects on statements which the Holy Father made, and the reader will find it a valuable companion to “Then Peter stood up…”, compiled by the same writer and published by ICCRS in February 2000. Pope John Paul II often reflected on the two equal dimensions of the Catholic Church, the Institutional and the Charismatic. This short compendium touches briefly on his response to the action of the Holy Spirit in the Church today.

	Prayer for Healing They are the "Acts" emanated from the International Colloquium on Prayer for Healing and the Charimatic Renewal in the Catholic Church. The meeting, held in Rome in 2001, was convened by the Pontifical Council for the Laity together with ICCRS. The assembly of 87 invited partecipants from the worldwide Catholic Charismatic Renewal together with 12 Vatican representatives was presided over by the President on the Pontifical Council, Card. James Francis Stafford. The meeting was initiated to discuss the healing guidelines which were set out in the Instruction on Prayer for Healing. During the three days of this gathering, some theologians presented papers which dealt with the scriptural and patristic, historical and liturgical, canonical and ecumenical aspects of the healing ministry in the Catholic Church. Round table discussions reflected on the topics of exorcism and deliverance, and on the spiritual, physical, and psychological dimensions associated with healing. This book will be of great assistance to those who seek to continue their function within the healing ministry of Jesus, recalling the promise which he gave to his disciples: "...they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover..." (Mk 16:18). "Prayer for Healing", ICCRS, 2003, 320 pages, 12 € / 14 US$ (only in English). Copies may be ordered from the ICCRS Office - Rome. Download the order form:

	The Compact History of the Catholic Church This book came into being when Fr. Fio Mascarenhas, S.J., at that time Chairman of the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Office (ICCRO) in Rome, asked the author, Alan Schreck, to write a series of simple lessons on the history of the Catholic Church as a follow-up to the "Life in the Spirit" seminars, especially for use in Third Word countries. The original manuscript of this text was divided into eight sessions to be presented by a leader to a group of people, using a format much like the "Life in the Spirit" seminar.
