"The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit"

Many of our sisters and brothers don't know the Holy Spirit.....Sent by Abba Father & Jesus Christ.....

1).  Wisdom / Understanding / Counsel / Fortitude / Knowledge (Of God, neighbor & self) / Piety / Fear Of The Lord.

2). "The Corporal Works Of Mercy", Action in the Spirit of God charity and mercy, graces that pour from Heaven:

Feed the hungry / Give drink to the thirsty / Clothe the naked / Shelter the needy / Visit the imprisoned / Bury the dead etc.

3).  "The Beatitudes" Each Beatitude can also be explored in depth.
 
Jesus lived the life of the beatitude. Immediately as He began His mission it was freeing souls from evil bondage. These souls were so happy that most of them followed Christ and lived a Christian life of charity, forgiveness, mercy and love. They lived in communities sharing what God gave them.  This was the touch and mark of Christ upon their souls. We are called to imitate Christ and no doubt this was Christ Himself.

1).  Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
2).  Blessed are the meek; for they shall possess the land.
3).  Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
4).  Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after Justice; for they shall be filled.
5).  Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.
6).  Blessed are the clean of heart; for they shall see God.
7).  Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God.
8).  Blessed are they that suffer persecutions for Justice sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

*******We are called to see Jesus Christ in others, abide in Christ and He will abide in thee!

Sharing, in Spirit & In Truth!
