PedroX Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 This is part of the problem with the ecclesiology of the protestant churches. They have lost focus on the purpose and meaning of church. The point of P&W is too produce feelings in you. Talk to a "worship leader" and ask how they decide which songs to sing, and in what order. As Sojourner indicated, there is a certain amount of emotional manipulation involved. That time is geared to getting you in a spiritual frenzy. Everytime I go to mass I am so grateful that God had mercy on me and called me into union with His Church. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 I'm not saying P&W should be mixed with mass. I'm simply saying there should be an appropriate time and place for it. Even if it is a monday night to sit in a room with a guitar and sing joyful songs and pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Huether Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Most Parishes I know of have a Prayer Group that meets at least once a week for P and W. You should have no problem finding a group if you ask around. You would be a blessing to any group, Bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yeah, but it remains that it is not a "catholic thing" unless it is those darn pentacostal catholics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.SIGGA Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I love P&W. We have it at my University parish, but b4 and after Mass. I think you all who miss it should start something yourselves with the permission of your priest. I think a lot of people will like it because a whole bunch of Catholic folks I know have all those CDs in their cars, and if not they see all the comercials, and I bet more of them would be able to sing along than you think lol. If you can't find a group, then start one! That would be so cool! This former girlfriend of mine, at her parish the P&W group even mixed their own CD, with permission, and distributed it to the parishoners to get them interested.

MParedon Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 In another forum a poster talked about how her Church has a Praise and Worship Holy Hour. I think that is fabulous. I also like the idea of making CD's. I like to buy the Pope's CD's b/c I know money goes to the Church. If Praise and Worships CD's were made by lay people in the church maybe they could start an apostalate and the money or a percentage could go to the Church.

M.SIGGA Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Steubenville Concert Series, Steubenville Millinium Three, and Living: A Worship Experience all have a CD volume series of P&W and all are Catholic, so the P&W that preaches protestant doctrine aren't included on these CDs. I'm sure there are a lot more out there, you just need to look online - I know about these because I own these CDs. I agree about reping groups that support the Church.

Tony Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Praise and Worship seems like a neat idea.. but then you ask yourself " welll why not just have a Mass with the Eucharist?" lol it all goes full circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MParedon Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 But the great thing is, P&W wouldn't be instead of Mass it would be in addition to Mass. Sort of like MoM and CYO (some do singing and teaching together) Groups are apostolates that are used to help laity in their worship growth in addition to Mass, not instead of.

kateri05 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 [quote name='Brother Adam' date='Jul 11 2004, 01:12 PM'] Right- what HS_mom said. It's not about being charasmatic at all. Charasmatics scare me. :shudder: [/quote] why do they scare you? i'm not trying to be confrontational or anything, just wondering there is a charasmatic Catholic Church conference coming up and i've been entertaining notions of going to part of it...
