Have you ever felt the call to pray with your whole heart, soul and voice? On this episode, we dive into charismatic prayer – a powerful and expressive form of worship that’s just alive in the Catholic Church as it is in some Protestant faith traditions.

What is it? How does it connect us more deeply with the Holy Spirit? And how can it transform your faith?

Benjamin Oursler and Jack Morris, two seminarians studying to become priests for the Archdiocese of Baltimore, are involved in the Charismatic movement and have received training charismatic prayer through a two-year program called the Encounter School of Ministry. They share their experiences with charismatic prayer with Catholic Review Managing Editor George Matysek.

Jack Morris

Oursler is from St. John the Evangelist parish in Severna Park. He currently is studying at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.

Norris is from St. Louis parish in Clarksville and is currently on his pastoral year at the Pastorate of St. John the Evangelist in Frederick and St. Joseph-on-Carrollton Manor in Buckeystown.
