At the beginning of the Second Vatican Council, Pope Saint John XXIII offered a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to “Renew your wonders in our time, as though for a new Pentecost.” The rediscovery of the charismatic gifts by ordinary Catholics throughout the world was an answer to that prayer. Damian Stayne is known internationally for his preaching with healings, signs and wonders as well as training conferences in spiritual gifts. Here he shows readers how the spiritual gifts such as prophecy and healing were used by Jesus, the early Church, the saints—and why we need them operating in the Church today. He provides not only amazing stories of God s presence and work in our time but also a host of practical instructions on how to grow in these gifts. Damian writes as a committed Catholic, but this book is of value to all Christians seeking to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 12:1) to build up the Church and lead others to Christ. Lord, Renew Your Wonders by Damian Stayne is an addition to the multitude of witnesses of the abiding presence of the Lord s Spirit in his Church and a useful contribution to the discussion of the charisms of the Spirit in the Church in our day.
