Fall Session - Gifts of the Holy Spirit!
Our topic this session will be "The Gifts of the Holy Spirit".
Session 5
Gift of Knowledge
Our next session of "The Gifts of the Holy Spirit" will be on Knowledge.
The gift of knowledge, one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, empowers individuals to see and understand the deeper truths of faith and God's creation. This gift allows us to grasp the profound mysteries of our faith, enabling a better understanding of scripture and the teachings of the Church.
Knowledge is not merely about accumulating facts; it is about discerning God's will and applying that understanding in our daily lives. It encourages us to seek wisdom and insight, fostering a relationship with God that guides our actions and decisions.
In our discussions, let us explore how the gift of knowledge can enhance our spiritual lives, deepen our faith, and inspire us to share God's love and truth with others. Through prayer and reflection, we can open ourselves to this gift, allowing it to illuminate our paths and strengthen our community.
Father Paul’s Homily this week explores this gift and will be emailed to our Small Group Faith Companions and Hosts on Sunday night.
Enjoy your discussions as you deepen your faith!
Any questions or concerns please reach out to Debbie Pine
