CWN Editor's Note: At his weekly public audience on November 20, Pope Francis continued his series of talks on the Holy Spirit, speaking about the diversity of gifts, or charisms, that the Spirit bestows.
“To each individual, the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit,” the Pope said. These gifts, he stressed, are intended to serve the common good, not the welfare of the individuals who receive them. At the same time the charisms are specially designed for the individuals who may benefit from them.
These charisms, the Pontiff continued, may be conferred by the Holy Spirit upon lay people, who “have their own charisms and gifts.”
