Charisms of the Holy Spirit: Tools for the New Evangelization
 

Knowing your spiritual gifts can actually help you know God’s will for your life. If you are wondering, “What do you want me to do Lord?” You might learn more about the Lord’s call if you first discern your charisms.  Knowing your spiritual gifts will also help you to know what God has not called you to do. It is critical that once we have discerned our charisms, we must place them at the service of the Church.

 
Knowing your spiritual gifts, will help you to know how the Spirit is using you as a tool for the new evangelization.  If hospitality is your charism, you will bring Christ to others when you operate in this gift.  Your welcoming disposition is a way that others see Christ.  Not everyone has this charism for sure. The same is true of helps, intercession, discernment, administration, arts & music and all of the charisms.
 
Knowing your spiritual gifts builds unity. When each person operates in their charisms, God is able to work mightily in a faith community. Every charism is present in the body and every charism is necessary and vitally important to the life of the parish.
