Holy Spirit Mondays: Do I Have Gifts?
A short reflection to help you deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Read: "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call ... grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to

For us, these are not simply a set of theological a

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. "And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brou
