148 The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

For College Catholics

When St. Joan of Arc was confronted with a tribunal made up of the best theologians in France, she didn’t stand a chance. However, her answers were so profound and clear, that she baffled all those who were trying to prove her wrong. Her answers were examples of the gifts of the Holy Spirit—particularly that of Wisdom—put into action.

In this episode we speak about the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are given to us in Baptism. They are “habits” infused by God in Baptism that enable us to be receive and be docile to the actual graces given by the Holy Spirit. Listen in to get a glimpse of these amazing gifts and be inspired by the examples of the Shepherds of Fatima, and St. Joan of Arc!
