In this spot check, we explore the charismatic graces, how the Holy Spirit works through us to bring about the Kingdom of God, and how we can understand the charisms in light of Christ's 3-fold mission: priest, prophet and king. Brought to you by Jeffrey S. Arrowood. My mission is to help Catholic adults rediscover the JOY of learning and living their faith so they can grow in intimacy with God. https://fromtheabbey.com

Spot Check: Discerning Your Spiritual Gifts (Charisms)

This is a spot check for the "Discerning Your Mission" Spiritual Project. The Holy Spirit equips our mission with spiritual gifts, including the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. In this reflection I'll teach you about each of these seven Gifts so you can discern how they are working in your life, and whether or not the Holy Spirit is moving you to use any of these Gifts in your mission.

Spot Check: Discerning the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

In this Spot Check we follow up on the "Discerning Your Mission" Spiritual Project. We're focusing on examining your heart - what you are passionate about and how that can reflect your internal call to serve the Kingdom of God. Visit my-inner-abbey.com for show notes and other resources.

Spot Check: Discerning Your Mission By Examining Your Heart

This spiritual project challenges you to reflect on the Sacraments you've received, especially the grace you received through them, then discover ways to respond to that grace in your daily spirituality. We're going to bring the Sacraments to life!

Spiritual Project: Discerning Your Mission

We continue our exploration of the Sacraments by exploring how we can live the Sacrament of Confirmation. We'll explore the Sacramental Sign of Confirmation and how we can respond to the grace the Holy Spirit gives us. We'll also explore the Sacramental Oath of the Sacrament and how we can live it out in our daily lives.

Spot Check: Living Your Confirmation

This "Spot Check" builds on the "Living the Sacraments" episode by focusing specifically on Baptism. What is the Sacramental Sign of Baptism, what does it show God doing for us in this Sacrament? How do we respond to this grace? What is the Sacramental Oath of Baptism and how do we live it out? Let's bring the Sacrament of Baptism to life in your daily spirituality!

Spiritual Project: Living The Sacraments

The first step to any spiritual project is to have a clear vision of the goal. Many Catholics are still stuck with a third grade understanding of Heaven. In this episode of the Rebuilding My Inner Abbey webcast, we'll examine some myths about Heaven, and then the true understanding of Heaven that will give your spiritual project true direction.

Heaven: the Goal of Our Spiritual Project

This episode introduces the "Rebuilding My Inner Abbey" project. Join us as we discuss the five key areas of spirituality every Catholic adult needs to continuously develop in order to build a lay spiritual life.

Your "Inner Abbey" is the place in your heart where you can meet Jesus to develop an intimate relationship with Him and with the Holy Trinity. Each room of your "Inner Abbey" represents one area of spirituality that makes up a lay "rule of life." Each month we'll visit one room of your "Inner Abbey" and take on a spiritual building project in that room by focusing on one simple task that you can complete to make real progress in this area of the spiritual life.
