Lavinia Spirito and Mary Lou Nemacheck continue discussing Raniero Cantalamessa’s book The Sober Intoxication of the Spirit: Filled with the Fullness of God, emphasizing a Spirit-filled Catholic life marked by humility, joy, prayer, and service rather than “hysteria.” They describe praying in the Holy Spirit for the sick, the reality of healing (including “ultimate healing” in death), and how saints and the early Church lived charisms such as prophecy, encouragement, and jubilant joy. They stress that while baptism and confirmation give the Holy Spirit, many fail to “unwrap” these gifts, and encourage praying, “Come, Holy Spirit,” for renewed transformation and fruit of the Spirit. The episode highlights Jesus is Lord as the central focus, distinguishes sacraments (shared) from charisms (particular gifts), references the 1977 Kansas City conference, and previews a future episode on anointing and early Church mystagogical catechesis.
