During these last years, the Risen Jesus Community has grown rapidly in many parish churches in Rome as well as in many other Italian towns and regions. Lately it has begun accomplishing another of its original prophecies -- that of arranging prayer meetings in working and life environments (according to the expectations that lie at the basis of the Church's commitment in a new evangelization).

These parish and environmental communities are opened to everyone. If you want, you may choose the one nearest to you and experience, together with other creatures in love with Jesus, how He transforms man by His Spirit. Certainly, this is not a magic action nor something that happens beyond your will. Only if you really want it, during this "meeting" with Him, He will give you the strength and the joy to step onto a path of real conversion where you can learn how to let everything you are and have converge on Him. This is the "transformation into Christ" every Christian man and woman is asked for, toward the eternal life... but the eternal life is beginning just now and here!

Your parish community will offer you, depending on your personal spiritual growth and maturity:

• The opportunity to receive "individual prayers," when the local leaders lay hands over you as a brotherly act of blessing and love.

• The opportunity to attend a seminar (a 12 or more week course) to afterwards receive the "Baptism in the Holy Spirit".

• Once you have experienced "the Baptism in the Holy Spirit," the opportunity to take part in small sharing groups which meet in a family house or in the parish church.

• The opportunity to give, in your turn, what you received as a gift, to contribute and build up the Body of Christ.
