By a review of Sacred Scripture, Church Fathers, and magisterial teaching from the Second Vatican Council II to the present, this course studies how the Holy Spirit provides charisms, or gifts for ministry, especially apt for a “new apostolic age” and operative in the Church today. It also seeks to dispose seminarians to receive a fresh outpouring of these charisms and provides practical guidance on how to put them to use in ordained ministry and how to foster them in their future parishioners.
