“SHARING GOD’S GIFTS”
...there
are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy
Spirit who is the source of them all. There are different kinds of
service in the Church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. There
are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God
who does the work through all of us. A spiritual gift is given to
each of us as a means of helping the entire Church. (1 Corinthians
12:4-7)
