Matthew 23:1-12

31st Sunday in Ordinary Time, year A.

Questions

1) What charisms would you claim for yourself. Are there any that you aspire to in the future?

2) Can charisms/gifts of the Spirit be acquired or learnt, or do they need to be born of an innate movement-of-self?

3) What happens if charisms are not acknowledged or celebrated?

4) How do you feel when somebody else claims a charism?

5) How “especially adept” do people need to be in their charism to be given the label?

6) We are each baptised “priest, prophet and sovereign”. Do you claim these titles? Which resonates most with you? Which are you least comfortable with? Why?
