Theme 63 : Personal Charism

'Charism' is the spiritual power/drive/authority freely given by the Grace of God to live 'life on earth' most effectively. A true follower of Jesus will have his/her personal charism based on Jesus' Death and Resurrection, which constitute the confirmation of all HIS works and teachings. Our lives are swept up by Christ into the heart of Divine Life, so that we may live no longer for ourselves but for HIM who for our sake died and resurrected. By HIS Death, Christ liberates us from sin; by HIS Resurrection, HE opens for us the way to a new life. The truth of Jesus' Divinity is confirmed by HIS Resurrection. This new life is above all the justification that restores us in God's Grace. Christ's Resurrection is the principle and source of our future resurrection. The Risen Christ lives in the hearts of HIS faithful while they await that fulfillment. Ref. CCC 651-655)

Prayer :
O Risen Saviour, may I ever be grateful to you through my attitudes, words and gestures. Have mercy on me, a sinner and fill me with YOUR Grace and Wisdom. Show me my personal charism and enable me to live it fully.
