AMDG.  Think about the idea of being the answer to someone else’s prayers.  Does that seem humbling or overwhelming, frightening or appealing...or maybe a mix of all of those?  In this episode, Sherry Weddell of the Catherine of Siena Institute visits with Bonnie and Steven about the idea of charisms.  These gifts are different from sanctifying graces in that they are given to us for us to give away.  Sherry explains how every baptized person receives at least one charism, how all the charisms are evangelizing and healing, and how charisms spring to fruitfulness from a lived relationship with God.
