“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.”
(1 Corinthians 12:4-6)
What Is a Charism?
Charisms are gifts of grace given by the Holy Spirit. They are not simply talents or skills. They are ways the Holy Spirit works through us to serve others, to manifest Christ to others, to strengthen the Church, and to continue the mission of Jesus.
“These are special graces, called charisms…”
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003
These charisms have been present in the Church since Pentecost and continue to anoint God’s people – all of God’s people for service to others.
Why Discover Your Charisms?
Every baptized Christian has been given unique spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit for the good of others and the building up of the Church.
Knowing your charisms can help you recognize how God is already working through you to serve – in your family, your parish, your workplace, and your community.
