Shower me with Your gifts



Come, Holy Spirit, 

Shower me with Your gifts today


The gifts of the Spirit are specific and awesome in nature. If you have been given a gift to use, may you be inspired with confidence and allow the Spirit to work through you. They are gifts that enhance the spiritual life and bless the community. 


How can you know if a gift is truly of the Spirit? It can be discerned by its feel. Or as Saint Ignatius might say, how it tastes. As the Bible says, by their fruit shall you know them. Each gift has a special purpose, whether that is the gift of Healing or the gift of Discernment, the gift of Tongues and the interpretation of them or the gift of Miracles. Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith; all are important and essential to the coming of the Kingdom.


Let us then be emboldened by the Spirit as we pray and wisely use our own special gift from God.
