Gifts of the Holy Spirit In Today’s World
“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” (1 Cor 12: 4-7)
This passage from 1 Corinthians is used as a starting point for exploring the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in Scripture (IS 11:2-3 and 1 Cor 12: 7-11) focusing on how they can be used today. Various references are cited including Evangelii Gaudium – The Joy of the Gospel, and Catechism of the Catholic Church.
