Many Catholics desire to live their faith well, but many don’t know how to do that - not because they don't know or love their faith enough, but because they have never put language to the specific role they are being asked to play within the Church. Enter charisms: the personal, supernatural graces you receive to build the Church in the unique way only you can.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "discernment of charisms is always necessary" and that "no charism is exempt from submission to the Church," but there has never been a comprehensive guide on how to do this (CCC 801).
This practical book not only explains charisms and answers many frequently asked questions but also walks with you through the testing and post-discernment phases of the charism process. Through short, actionable, and easy-to-read chapters on each charism, you'll grow in your knowledge of them and be prepared to use and troubleshoot them as you grow in service and intimacy with God.
Ever wonder what your unique charisms could look like when lived to their fullest potential? Meet over 170 incredible saints who'll show you exactly that. This isn't your typical saint book—it's a unique guide that maps out how these holy men and women used their God-given charisms to change the world.
Whether you're still figuring out your own spiritual gifts or looking for inspiration on how you use them, you'll find real-life examples from saints who walked the same path you're on. The best part? You'll discover how these gifts can work together, through stories of both famous saints and lesser-known holy heroes from every walk of life and corner of the Church.
Think of it as your introduction to potential spiritual mentors who share your gifts—saints who just might become your new best friends in heaven.

This four-part Bible study will walk your group through the effects of the Holy Spirit that we see in the life of Jesus, what we see happen at Pentecost and in the early church. The goal of this is to really stop and think about the before and after of the Holy Spirit’s presence and to begin to renew our minds around the fact that this is also what we should expect in our own lives.
This study also seeks to nourish the fruits of Pentecost in our own lives by looking at the charisms in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and what we use as our working list of charisms today, briefly breaking open each one and what its iterations look like in the Body of Christ. It also invites all participants to begin their own charism discernment journey by taking a charism discernment assessment. The final session will guide you through discussion of your own possible charisms and give you an opportunity to respond to the potential charisms of others in your group, collaboratively beginning the discernment process by getting valuable feedback from people that know you and have likely experienced the use of your gifts.
