Ask A Priest

Q: I have heard a lot of talk recently about discovering my ‘gi"s of the Spirit.’ Does everyone have a gi"?

How do I go about discovering mine?

A: About 10 years ago, a new business opened shop in my parents’ neighborhood; The Kabbalah Center. I

remember laughing when I ini"ally saw it, but could only shake my head and sigh as I no"ced how much traffic was

passing through those doors. I reflected out loud, ‘So many people searching for answers, but so few that know where

to look.’

Perhaps you have no"ced this as well; the Catholic Church has developed a reputa"on for being ‘boring’ or ‘uninspiring’.

People have developed the iden"ty of being ‘Spiritual, but not Religious.’ In their opinion, the Catholic Church has

nothing to offer. Eastern spirituality, in the opinion of so many folks, can teach the Church a thing or two about God!

This loss of awareness of her mys"cal Tradi"on is one of the most regre#able things that has happened to the Holy

Mother Church in recent years. The Truth of the ma#er is that, ever since her earliest days, the Church has consistently

enjoyed an outpouring of the gi*s of the Spirit! On Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles.

Those floodgates of grace have been open ever since, even when we have failed to pay them very much a#en"on.

Charism is the theological term used to describe the extraordinary power given to the Chris"an by the Holy Spirit for

the good of the Church. Let’s spend a few moments analyzing that sentence. Charisms are extraordinary – they go

beyond the everydayness of our lives. They involve power (in Greek: dynamis) – they dynamically allow us to affect the

world around us. Each of us has a Charism, or Charisms – no one can feign powerlessness. Charisms should not be

confused with voca"ons, although they may go hand in hand. You may have the Charism of heroic pa"ence that

enables you to be a good mother, but you have the voca"on of motherhood. Finally, these gi*s are not for us, but for

the Church – they are not for selfish use, or for profit, but to help others get to Heaven. For a good sample list of

Charisms, let us turn to 1 Corinthians 12.

To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to

the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gi*s of healing by the one Spirit; to another mighty

deeds; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varie"es of tongues; to another

interpreta"on of tongues. But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distribu"ng them individually to each

person as he wishes…

Some people God has designated in the Church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty

deeds; then, gi*s of healing, assistance, administra"on, and varie"es of tongues… Strive eagerly for the greatest

spiritual gi*s.

Now, when St. Paul talks about a Charism like healing, he is not talking about a doctor who prescribes medica"on. An

individual with this Charism is literally able to heal people with a touch or a prayer (in the same way Jesus and the

Apostles did). This might sound incredulous, but this is a legi"mate, authen"c gi* of the Spirit. Perhaps one of you has

this Charism, just wai"ng to be discovered!

Charisms take all shapes and sizes. St. Joseph of Cuper"no had the Charism of flying (and not in an airplane!).

St. Padre Pio could read the souls of his penitents. St. Vincent Ferrer had the power to raise people from the dead!

Despite the diversity in Charisms, one constant remains; these great saints all used the gi*s they were given to glorify

God and convert souls for Christ.

So how do we go about discovering our par!cular Charisms? Well, as St. Paul men"ons in the above passage, some

people are given the gi* of discernment of spirits; it is their Charism to help other people discover their Charisms! From

October 6th-9th, St. Patrick Church in Wadsworth will be offering the Light of the World Retreat. This is a great forum for

prayer and reflec"on, and to interact with likeminded people. In the future, OLH hopes to host a Called and Gi"ed

Workshop, which specializes in discernment of Charisms. In addi"on, we have several people at the Parish, both clergy

and lay leaders, who are available for individual spiritual direc"on. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at the Parish

Office to set up an appointment.

Dear friends, each of us have our gi*s to share. May we be wise in our discernment of these Charisms, and fearless in

manifes"ng them to the world, that we might win many souls for Christ.

Peace,

Fr. Mike
