“Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them.” We have gifts. Have you ever prayed on the gifts God has given you? Have you asked God to help you to discern the gifts you have been given? While I have heard such practice in certain Christian circles, it does not seem as common for Catholics. I do not hear many in the Catholic faith claim the gifts God has given them. And yet, Saint Paul, in the quote from his letter to the Romans, mentions that we have gifts. There are many instances where Saint Paul mentions specific gifts, though the names and lists do not always match.
