Synopsis:

Retrieving Charisms For The Twenty-First Century

From the Inside Flap: Charisms are a special variety of gifts dispensed through the Holy Spirit in Church and world for the common good. Leon-Joseph Cardinal Suenens, archbishop of Malines-Brussels from 1961-1979, spent his life uncovering these special gifts and reestablishing them in the mainstream of Christian life. His vision prompted the reflections in Retrieving Charisms for the Twenty-First Century. With the new millennium approaching, Donnelly states that the task before us is the retrieval of charisms which are needed for us all not merely to survive, but to survive with courage and imagination. The contributors to Retrieving Charisms for the Twenty-First Century are aware of the urgency of our survival as well as its style. In the spirit of Cardinal Suenens, their approaches are refreshing, balanced, open to new possibilities, and faithful to the Spirit who has surprises in store for those of us willing to be swept away by gusts of gracious wind.
