The objective of this dissertation is to research the value of the ecstatic dimension of the Church. Fulfilling a theological-pastoral study on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Brazil. We will begin our research presenting God s desire in communicating with the human being; consequently, the human being has the need to accept God and to communicate with Him. This eagerness for communication will manifests, in the arc of the history of religions in various ways, one of which is ecstasy. We will investigate the role that ecstasy has in the early Christian religious experience. We will make a historic route about the ecstasy in ancient Israel, as well as in other people s religious experience who had contact with Israel. This will be done, so that we can understand the ecstasy experience in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament. We will show the ecstatic dimension in the Church of the Acts of the Apostles and in the Church of Corinth. We will see that, because of this ecstatic dimension, the charisms overflowed, miracle and wonders happened, and every day more and more people joined them. That because they were an inclusive Churches and nobody was in need. We will show how throughout the years, due to the difficulties faced by the Church, there was a need to systematize the Church. This will weaken the ecstatic dimension of the Church and the doctrine will become rational. The kerigma loses its place for the moral philosophy; this will provoke the decline of the ecstatic Church. However, the Holy Spirit, once again, comes down over the Church and the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council is announced. At this point, a turnaround happens in the Church and the charisms returns, bringing the revival of the ecstatic Church, beginning the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. We will show the criticisms and controversies that the Catholic Charismatic Renewal had to face, causing the need to systematize and hierarchize. We will conclude our research by presenting the risk and pastoral possibilities for the ecstatic dimension of the Church. Although we are living in an epocal transition, the Christin proposal remains the same and for this reason, we must recover Jesus Christ project and the ecstatic dimension of His Church. We intend to show that ecstasy is a legitimate expression within a religious structure.
