The Charisms: Gifts of the Holy Spirit in St. Paul’s Writings (Part 1)

The Charisms: Gifts of the Holy Spirit in St. Paul’s Writings (Part 1)

Nov 12, 2025

St. Paul’s image of the Church as the “Body of Christ” provides context for his teaching on the “gifts of the Holy Spirit,” or charisms. Every member of the Body of Christ is given these charisms to build up or edify the Church and to serve with love its mission in the world.

Dr. Schreck talks about St. Paul and his First Letter to the Corinthians, listing some of these charisms, describing their importance, and how they are to be exercised.

Listen to part 2 on the charisms here.
