“Come Holy Spirit, come Holy Spirit, I ask that you come into my life, help me to know the Spiritual Gifts that you have given me.” –Fr Mark’s 9/30th Homily Prayer

Hello Everyone! Following up from Fr Mark’s homily where he spoke about how through our charisms, each of us has been given a unique and deeply personal call to work with our Lord and discover God’s plan for our lives, towards our calling as partners in the mission of Christ for everyone has been “called and gifted” for the sake of the world. “Imagine what OLM would look like if everyone here is using their gifts, the spiritual gifts, charisms that God has given. If everyone was eagerly pursuing their gifts.”
