We were each invited to draw four boxes on a sheet of paper. In the first box, we wrote the word “passion,” and then we were invited to list things that "fired us up." In the second box, we wrote the words "good at” and then listed what we believed we were good at. The words for the third box were "always do,” and we wrote the things we just always seem to do. Finally, in the fourth box, we wrote the word "believe" and then wrote what we really valued.

The facilitator suggested that what we had written down were gifts from the Holy Spirit and then immediately asked us: ”What are you going to do with these gifts? How about you start by looking in your community, and see where the greatest need is.”

Our scripture tells us that no one has ever seen God, but through the Son, God has been made known. When we choose to follow Jesus and his example by using our gifts to meet the world's needs, God is made known. The mystery is made known.
