(Day 2/Tuesday) 2021 Spiritual Care Workshop - Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts

  • Registration Closed

Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts

Everyone has been blessed with spiritual gifts, infused within you as grace at baptism. The Holy Spirit calls us to use these gifts to build heaven here on earth. Any application of our spiritual gifts used without compassion leads to chaos and can harm those we serve. Join us for Day Two of the Avila Institute’s 2021 Spiritual Care Workshop where we once again welcome Father William Jarema to guide us in areas of:

1. Discernment as our attempt to listen to God

2. Putting on the mind of Christ so that we can seek out the pleasure of God

3. Forgiveness and how the burden of refusing to forgive weighs down on you

4. Discovering your own spiritual gifts

5. Compassion gained by unlearning some of our previous notions to make space to expand our repertoire of helping and healing skills

6. The Table of Mercy – choosing the 12 people who have helped get you to this point in your life
