"The Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process has been used since 1993 by over 100,000 lay, ordained, and religious Catholics and other Christians around the world. It is designed to help Christians discern the presence of charisms in their lives. Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit to give them power both to represent Christ and to be a channel of God's goodness for people. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, all charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003). All three parts of the process are necessary for discovering where you are gifted."
- from the Catherine of Siena Institute, Colorado Springs, CO.
Step One is the Called & Gifted Workshop, which lays the foundation for the beginning of discernment. During the initial Called & Gifted workshop series, you will take the Catholic Spiritual Gifts Inventory.
Step Twois the one hour gifts interview, an invaluable part of the process.
Step Threewill help you begin discernment in the real world. It will teach you how to:
develop charism experiments
evaluate your results
identify ways you learned to control life as a child that get in the way of using your charisms as an adult.
