We can’t fully understand why God gives us certain gifts, but as we walk with Christ, we can engage with this mystery and journey towards holiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWelcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio\u003c\/em\u003e, Susan De Bartoli shares stories and wisdom from the life of this humble monk to show how we can use our unique spiritual gifts to love others and draw from the well of faith to encounter Christ in profound ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollowing the success of her Advent devotional,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWelcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio\u003c\/em\u003e, Susan De Bartoli invites you to explore Padre Pio’s relationship with the third member of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Spirit, who is the source of all spiritual gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThrough the stories of this simple Capuchin priest, you’ll discover what is possible for those who surrender themselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. At Baptism, we all receive the fruits of the Spirit—gifts like wisdom, fortitude, and piety—that empower us to “dive deep” into the well of faith. The Holy Spirit also graces some of us with special charisms—supernatural gifts such as healing, teaching, or intercessory abilities—intended to serve the Church. In this book, you’ll learn how to nurture these gifts, just as Padre Pio did, so that even your “ordinary“ spiritual gifts and charisms can bless others and deepen your own faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach chapter offers quotations from Padre Pio, a short story about the saint, prayer, and reflection questions that you can apply to your own life, such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat are my spiritual gifts and how have I seen them play out in my life already?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAm I consistently drinking from the well of faith?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does the Lord want me to do with my life, and how can I use my spiritual gifts to serve the Church?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAm I willing to surrender even the good things in my life to glorify the Lord?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWelcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the perfect companion for those who are already drawn to Padre Pio’s spirituality or anyone yearning to strengthen their relationship with the Holy Spirit.
