Dr. Alan Schreck explores the gifts of the Holy Spirit, or charisms, in chapter 14 of St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians and in his letters to the Romans (Chapter 12) and Ephesians (Chapter 4).

A reading from St. Hilary of Poitiers reveals the presence and importance of charisms in the 4th century, and teachings from the Second Vatican Council show their importance in the life of the Church today.
