Boston Archdiocese Charismatic Renewal Services director, Romanus Ajaero reported our monthly Leaders Assembly meeting with this email:

Today Wednesday, October 1, 2025 at the monthly gathering of the Leaders Assembly of the Charismatic Renewal Services of Boston Archdiocese, new Council members and newly elected Ethnic Leaders were commissioned by our Spiritual Director Rev. Fr. Michael McNamara. Prayers were offered for all including the outgoing Council & Ethnic Leaders. It has been an evening full of Spirit and social filled events.....a lot of food 🥑🥝 & drinks. 
To God be all the glory.

Our meeting started as normal with leaders of the various ethnic prayer groups greeting each other as we gathered in St. Mary’s lower church in Waltham. Maria and Roque Pena unified the group with a rousing series of praise songs. In song we called on the Holy Spirit to ignite our spirits and cover us. 

Romanus noted that during his two years attending national charismatic conferences, he has learned that Boston is unique in collaborating the prayer groups of eight ethnic communities. There are many Hispanic, Brazilian, Haitian, and Vietnamese prayer groups and these English language groups: Anglo, Nigerian, Cameroon, and Ugandan. Amazingly the rhythmic praise-leadership drew all into unity, thanking and glorifying God.

Romanus gave thanks to all who have served and helped to spread the Gospel through CRS-Boston. And he recognized that many have suffered over the years while offering this gift of service. He recognized these “wounded warriors” for the Lord. But we have persisted. In the words of Saint Paul, “My grace is sufficient to deal with thorns in the flesh.” And our woundedness enables us to minister to others who are suffering. 

This was to be a joyful evening recognizing and commissioning newly elected council and ethnic leaders. Two new council members from the Brazilian (Sister Valeria) and Nigerian (Rev. Sr. Christiana Onyewuche) communities were first called up. Father Michael McNamara, our CRS-Boston Spiritual Advisor prayed and laid hands on them to commission their roles.

Then past officers and leaders were called up in recognitions and to receive prayer of thanksgiving. This resulted in a large group who came forward to receive a thanksgiving blessing from Father Mike and the entire gathering. 

Romanus then invited us to partake of the lavish platters of food sponsored by Bro. Romanus, and the Cameroonian community. In true Christian style we came together as the Boby of Christ in the breaking of the bread. 

Here are some photos from the assembly.

Word Gifts Spoken at CRS Boston Conference Sept 13, 2025

1. Stand tall, my people. Stand erect and wait for my marching orders. Let your time of waiting be alive with worship and praise. Sing songs of thanksgiving and lift your hearts in adoration and awe. This is the way to prepare for battle; and these are the weapons you will use as you go forward in my name. I do not fight as the world fights. Its weapons maim and destroy. My weapon is sacrificial love. This love I pour into your hearts this day, so that you will become my weapons exuding mercy, forgiveness, healing, and miracles. These bring life and goodness to all people. Open your hearts to receive this gift I give you today.

2. My holy sons and daughters, I am calling you to drink more deeply of my wisdom and my love. I need you to walk more closely with me, to walk in my kingdom, living and acting on my word. Yes, let my word be the delight of your soul, transforming your mind and heart to think as I would. I am calling you to plant seeds, to bring my light into the darkness, to be my healing instruments in the broken world in which you live. I am calling you to speak my words of healing and love into the hearts of all who will listen. The harvest is rich; the laborers are few. Be my laborers of love and call those I send to join you as my holy sons and daughters. I want to raise up an army of all who are willing to drink deeply of my wisdom and my love. I want to speak my words through you.

3. This is the hour of My power. This is the time to walk by faith and not by sight. Let faith be your anchor in the days ahead. Much will look unsettled and confusing in the world, but do not fear for I am near. Remember that I am with you in the storm. Stay close to me. You are covered by my protection. I am Jehovah Nisi, your banner of victory. Soon you will see that I am still the God of the Red Sea. I am delivering you from the tight grip of the enemy. Let shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous of the Lord!!

2 Timothy 1:6-7  “That is why I am reminding you now to fan into a flame

                                 the gift  that God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

                                 God’s gift was not a spirit of timidity, but a Spirit of

                                 power, and love, and self-control.”

My holy sons and daughters, you are not here by accident, no, I called each of you here. You are My Holy People and I love each of you with an everlasting love. I have anointed each of you with the Power of My Holy Spirit. Listen carefully for My Word this day, for many words will be spoken, but there is a Word just for you. I will speak to each of your hearts as I want to awaken the gifts which are within you. My Holy Presence is upon you and within you this day. The world is in a spiritual battle for souls. I am calling you and preparing you more fully for this battle. Strive to fan into a flame the spiritual gifts that each of you have. I will win souls through your willingness to listen and receive My Word which will set you on fire and will set on fire those souls to whom I send you.

“Rejoice oh My people, Rejoice! Raise up a shout of joy and victory, for I the Lord am in your midst, and I am mighty to save! For I am the Lord, your God, and you are My people! Let the joy of the Lord be your strength in these dark days. Put on the garment of praise and rejoice, for joy dispels the gloom and darkness, and makes a way for My Spirit to enter in. Do not fear, for I am near. Look at Me and you will see that I am bigger than your enemy. Look at Me and you will see that you already have the victory! Stand on My word, live by it, and walk in it.

Psalm 118:15  “ the voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents, and

                             private dwellings of the righteous; The right hand of the

                             Lord has done valiantly and achieves strength.”

Visual Image and Word

 A visual image was received of  the broken hearts of little children coming out of the adults who were present.

Matthew 19:13-14  “ Then little children were being brought to him in

                                      order that he might lay his hands upon them and

                                       pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who

                                       brought them; but Jesus said, “Let the little children

                                        come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such 

                                        as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.”

The Lord wants to heal  the inner child in each of us of past wounds that affect our growth in the Spirit. He wants us to call down the power of the Holy Spirit to heal our childhood wounds.

My people, arm yourselves well in the days ahead. Stay settled in Me, well aware of who I AM in you. Abide in My Presence. Leave behind you all that would cling to you, like fear and worry, hardness of heart, and loss of hope.

Come now sit at My feet. Draw from Me all the Love I have to give. You, My people, are well equipped to fight in the Army of Love. I am raising up strong Warriors in Faith. Strive to attend to Me. You are My soldiers. I call each of you to battle. You ARE equipped. Try to make room for Me in your lives. For I come with much Holiness and power. Carry the flame, My Children, the Flame of My Love!

My children, the power of My love is manifested in praise and worship, and in the trust you place in Me. Surrender yourself to Me and accept Me as King, Lord, and Savior of your life. You will be transformed through your surrender and your service of the Kingdom of God done with love.

Go out to all the world and tell them of my deeply faithful love. A love that gives itself time and time again to everyone who asks for it. Set me as King on the throne of your heart. Heed and obey the promptings of my Spirit in your prayer life and in your daily activities with others. I desire a people who will humble themselves before me in praise and worship. I desire a people who will allow me to mold them into my image, the image of sacrificial love. Come to me. Come before me in your littleness; in your neediness; with hearts surrendered to me, and behold the miracles  I will do for you and through you. The victory is mine, my people, and I give it to you. Walk in my victory and bring it to others.

Oct 2 Leaders Assembly Testimonies

Louise Larose: The word gift ministry received many words at the conference but only shared (6).  The following is one that was not shared:

Received an image of a blanket of fire spreading over everyone in church.  She heard from the Lord: Each of us are under the blanket of fire.  Because of the heat of the fire, we are blooming into beautiful flowers, opening up and receiving all that the Holy Spirit was giving us.

Yoli Pichardo:  Stated she had an experience; as well as, a testimony to share:

Experience: When we all get together and pray in power, we get blessed.

Testimony: A confirmation of Louise’s prophecy.  The devil was so mad; in front of her eyes she could see him kicking out priests.  But there was a blanket of fire that was stronger and everything that came down was a blessing.

Roque Peña:  This was the most powerful congress we have had.  Friday he had trouble setting up the music and he was frustrated because he felt responsible for having it right.  Then the Lord told him to go and change that speaker and move it over there.  When he did that, everything worked as it should.

Romanus Ajaero:  Sang: We count our blessings one by one, then we see what the Lord has done.  We appreciate what the Lord has done.

• Being able to gather and worship freely without persecution in this country.
• We have homes- roofs over our heads; some people are homeless & fear being harmed as they sleep.
• There were no incidents during the congress.

Romanus expressed thanks to the Hispanic Community and especially Enrique Mendez for all their work in hosting the Congress and Diane Colgan for coordinating the congress.

General Assembly

2 Tim 1: 6-7 - That is why I am reminding you now to fan into a flame the gift that God gave you when I laid my hands on you. God’s gift was not a spirit of timidity, but the Spirit of power, love, and self-control.

“Come, My Holy sons and daughters, My Spirit is within you, upon you, all around you. I am calling you to walk more fully in My Presence, to come deeper into My Love, to learn to listen more clearly to My voice speaking to your heart. I am igniting your hearts with the fire of My Love, fanning into a flame, the gifts you received when My Spirit came upon you. Come! Be Open! Receive!”

“My Word to you this day is victory! Victory in Me – Victory in all I ask you to do. Remember, My people, My victory is yours. I give it freely – I lavish it upon you as you praise Me. Walk with me. I will grasp your hand and lead you along the path I have set forth. I need you, My people. Open your hearts to the victory I give you this day.”

“Now is the time to STAND TALL in the Spirit. Put on your spiritual armor. Pull your belt tighter, sharpen your sword, and tighten up your shoes, and then step into battle. For I am calling you out, My children, out of the familiar into the unfamiliar. Keep your eyes focused on me and I will give you clear direction of where you are to go and what you are to do.”

I Chronicles 28: 20 - Be strong and courageous and do it. Fear not, be not dismayed; for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the service of the House of the Lord.

English Sessions                                                                             

Exodus 32:9-13, Moses intercedes for Israel and Yahweh relented and did not destroy the Israelites. In Ezekiel 22:30, it says, I have been looking for someone among them to build a wall and man the breach in front of me, to defend the country and prevent me from destroying it; but I have not found anyone.

“My People, I am calling you to break through the darkness and to bring My Light upon the earth. I am calling you to be Prayer warriors, to crush the evil around you. I am calling you deeper into My Heart, to become My Holy Disciples of Healing and Love in the lives of those I bring before you. Be immersed in My Word, so it flows out of you and sets those who are lost and broken, free.” 

“I alone am the true light that pierces the darkness. What you see in the world is not the light of my Father. It is the cloudiness and murkiness of the evil one. He blinds my people with his lies, his half-truths. He convinces them that they cannot trust Me or my love for them. Do not allow his lies to take root in your heart. Look to ME- Look at ME. I alone show you that placing trust in Me, and my Father, is the true way to live a life filled with freedom and great grace. Spend time in my presence. There I will remove any blindness from the eyes of your heart. I long to give you a heavenly vision that you may see beyond the cloud that covers this world. Come to me, my people, I will give you, eyes to see- ears to hear- and hearts to love.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ephesians 3:14-21 - This then, is what I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name: Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have the strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God. Glory be to him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine; glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever. Amen.

Vision: As I was looking at the floor in the gym where we were meeting, I  sensed the Lord asking me to look at it closely. I noticed that each horizontal plank was closely attached to the other. To my right there was a section of floor that was painted in a vertical gray stripe. I saw this as a marking that might delineate a zone to game players; thus, giving them direction. I noticed that I could still see the horizontal line of each plank showing through the gray stripe. The sense I received from the Lord was that the planks of the floor are all created people. We are closely attached to each other by His creative design. The gray stripe that stands out is all of us who have accepted His Holy Spirit and are trying to grow in holiness. Being able to see the horizontal plank line through the gray stripe is a reminder to us that we are an integral part of our brothers and sisters’ lives. God wishes to use us as markers of direction, so that we can lead them to Him.

MASS

“As I gaze at you, my people, I gaze at the deep wounds in your hearts. I gaze at the sins you try to bury deeply inside. I gaze at the many ways you help your brother and sisters; and I gaze at a world that doesn’t acknowledge nor believe in my immense love for each individual person. I have given you free will so that you may accept this love freely given to you. This love will change you into true children of your heavenly Father, allowing you to love and forgive others. Layyourself at the foot of my cross. Lay your heart, your mind, your emotions, your actions. Release you all of yourself into my heart which is brimming over with mercy and hope for all. Freely accept my love, my people, and help other to do the same.”

John 6: 51, 55-57 -  I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh for the life of the world. For My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I live in him. As I, who am sent by the living father, myself draw a life from the father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me. 

“I am within you, now, My holy sons and daughter, draw life from Me. Let Me into your brokenness, to all those places in your heart that need healing. I am here, now, to heal you, to fill you with more of My love, to set your hearts on fire to be healing for those who are broken around you. You will leave a different person if you open your heart to My holy presence within you.”

"Oh, My people, Wake up! Get up! Stand up! Cover yourselves with spiritual armor and then walk into battle. A great (spiritual) army is moving on your behalf, to bring back your freedom. Freedom in your health, freedom in your finances, freedom in your spiritual lives. Get up! Stand up! For the Lion of Judah is on the move to bring you victory and freedom.”
