Description: Dan and Melissa speak with Dr. Kevin Vost about his book, The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Every Spiritual Warrior's Guide to God's Invincible Gifts.
Questions/Topics discussed on the show: What are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and why are they important? Why are St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure such strong sources for this book? After the sacrament of Confirmation, why aren't the gifts of the Holy Spirit apparent immediately in most of us? How are the gifts of the Holy Spirit different from the virtues? What can we do to move the soul to cooperate with the Holy Spirit so that we can best make use of these gifts? What is the difference between the gifts and the charisms of the Holy Spirit? What are some practical ways to live out these gifts? Why does each chapter end with a section on the Jesus, the Blessed Mother, and a particular saint?Resources:
