Charisms at the Service of Church and Society
Reading from Pope Francis Reflection
Sharing In so far as participants are at ease, some brief 1:1, or group, sharing now on issues arising from the reflection. Scripture
Reading from 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. Prayer
Gracious God, our loving Father, you have blessed us with gifts for the benefit of humanity. Help us to own, and to seek to express, our gifts in ongoing co-creation with you to extend your Kingdom of justice, compassion, and love. May we recognise and affirm giftedness in others as signs of your goodness in our world. We make this prayer in the name of Jesus.
