One Light, Every Color: Naming the Unique Passions that Animate Your Charisms

You already do it. You've just never called it a gift."Oh, that's just the little thing I do. It's nothing." A lot of people say some version of that about the very gift the Holy Spirit gave them — so they never name it, never value it, and never invest in the mission it could have become.Here's the good news: the problem was never that you're missing a gift. It's that no one has helped you put language to the one you already have.The same Holy Spirit lives in every believer, yet He never works through any two of us the same way. Light looks plain and whole until it passes through a prism — then it opens into every color. Your charisms are the same. One gift can refract into a whole rainbow of unique passions, and the one that makes your heart beat faster is the Spirit showing you where you're being called to serve.One Light, Every Color is a brainstorming guide for finding that color — the next step after you know what your charisms are and start asking where they're meant to go.Inside, you'll find:A browsable reference to more than twenty charisms, each opened into its types, its real-world applications, and long lists of specific passionsA simple way to read it: star what makes your heart beat faster, cross out what clearly isn't you, and watch a much shorter list emergeHelp for the person who knows their charisms but not what to do with them — and for the young, the unsure, and anyone still trying to find their place in the Body of ChristYou were never meant to be all things to all people. You were meant to find your passion and pour it out right where God has placed you.Because in God, there are no small things.From Jill Simons, founder of Many Parts Ministries and host of the Charisms for Catholics podcast.
