Discovering Your Charism as a Path to Clarity, Identity, and Purpose
There are moments in life when something within us begins to stir quietly.It is not a crisis, nor an external demand. It is a gentle but persistent question: Am I living fully into who I was created to be?
This sense of longing is not accidental. It is often the first sign of a deeper invitation, a call to pause, listen, and recognize the gifts already at work within us.
At MAPS for Life, we believe that this inner movement is an invitation to discern your charisms, the spiritual gifts that shape your identity and guide how you are meant to serve.
Renée Marazon: Accompanying Others Through Lived Faith and Discernment
The work of Renée Marazon is grounded in a simple but profound conviction: every person is created with unique spiritual gifts that reveal not only who they are, but how they are called to love and serve others.
As an author and guide, Renée’s approach is rooted in accompaniment rather than instruction alone. Her work reflects years of walking alongside individuals and families as they seek clarity, meaning, and coherence between faith and daily life.
Rather than offering formulas or quick answers, Renée emphasizes discernment, patience, and attentiveness to the inner life. Her writing and resources invite people to listen deeply, to name what they experience, and to move forward with confidence grounded in faith.
Her work consistently points to this truth: authentic service flows not from imitation or obligation, but from identity. When we understand who we are, we are freed to serve in ways that bring life to others and peace to ourselves.

What Is a Charism and Why Does It Matter?
A charism is more than a skill or natural talent. It is a spiritual gift given for the good of others, a way in which grace becomes visible through your life.
Discovering your charisms allows you to:
Understand why certain forms of service feel life-giving
Let go of comparison and misplaced expectations
Make decisions with greater interior clarity
Put language to what you may have sensed but never fully named
Without this understanding, it is easy to feel scattered or uncertain. With it, direction begins to emerge.
The Charism Inventory: A First Step Toward Discernment
The Charism Inventory is designed to help you identify your predominant spiritual gifts through a thoughtful and reflective process. It is not a surface-level assessment, but a tool that supports deeper self-awareness and prayerful discernment.
You may complete the inventory using either of the following options:
Completing the inventory is an act of attention, a way of listening more intentionally to what has already been forming within you.

When an Inner Calling Asks to Be Heard
Many people arrive at this process carrying questions they have not yet fully articulated. A desire for deeper faith, a longing to serve with purpose, or a quiet sense that something within them is waiting to be recognized.
This retreat does not promise instant answers. What it offers instead is clarity, guidance, and space for honest discernment.
Renée Marazon has shaped this experience from years of real accompaniment, understanding that discovering one’s charisms is not an endpoint, but the beginning of a more intentional way of living.
Stop Wondering. Begin Living from Your Charism.
Listening to an inner calling requires courage. Making space for it requires trust.If you sense that you are being invited into something deeper, this may be the moment to respond with intention.
Begin with the inventory. Deepen the journey through the retreat. Live from who you are.
Your charism is not an accident. It is part of your mission.
