This is a article about some prayers and religious practices developed by the members of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, mainly in the community Canção Nova. Considering the native perspective regarding the situations and events that involves the Holy Spirit, I analyze the prayer while social phenomenon and think over about the relationships that would be produced between human beings and God through events such as glossolalia, prophecy and resting in the Spirit. In these relationships, language, corporality and feeling operate as update and confirmation devices of Spirit's presence and action in this world.
