Catholic Publications / Charisms of the Holy Spirit
"From the beginning, the Lord filled the Church with the gifts of His Spirit…among: These gifts are some that are particularly precious for the building and journey of the Christian community: they are the charisms. What, exactly, is a charism? How can we recognize charisms and be open to receive them?"

SAY THIS
​
Now that you have gathered the top 4-6 Catholic charisms of knowledge of your parishioners, what will you do with this information? Will you document your people’s charisms? Summarize them? Will you save this information in a computer file and then retrieve it when you need particular charisms for your parish growth and life? Will you invite people to operate in their charisms through personal invitations, labeling and reminding them of their charisms. Will you envision new ministries that enable your people to exercise their charisms and provide discipleship resources for the growth of your parish?
Perhaps even design a ministry that uses a particular charism of the holy spirit such as healing.
​
When a pastor I know realized how many people had the charism of healing he asked, “why don’t we have a healing prayer ministry once a month after all the Masses”. And so the parish formed a Prayer Team Ministry. Now that is a pastor with a vision for forming missionary disciples.
My point is this friends. There is absolutely no point in doing the work of charism discernment if you are not going to use the information to send people out on their mission to evangelize others. Forming missionary disciples is the whole purpose of charism discernment – sending them out on mission with their charisms at work to bring Christ to the world and the world to Christ is their commission. Please do not invite your people to discern their charisms if you do not intend to call them forth to use them.
