The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) · Day 266: The Gift of Grace (2026) · 23 Sep 2026 podcast

That has made us. matched

It's the gift of God in paragraph 2023. matched

It's the gift of his life that God makes to us. matched

That it's infused with the Holy Spirit into the soul to heal it of sin and sanctify it. matched

It is infused by the Holy Spirit into the soul to heal it of sin and sanctify it. matched

So sanctifying grace makes us pleasing to God. matched

It makes us God's sons and daughters. matched

So that's sanctifying grace. matched

Remember, it's habitual, it's permanent. matched

We have charisms, which are special graces of the Holy Spirit that are oriented towards to build off this sanctifying grace, right? matched

So they're intended for what? matched

These charisms are intended for the building up of the church. matched

So miracles and mighty works and prophecy and tongues, those kind of gifts, those charisms are not intended just for the person who to whom they've been given. matched

They're intended to be used to build up the body of Christ, intended to build up to the church. matched

What do you mean? matched

Well, here's an example. matched

Whenever missionaries or whenever the apostles would go into a new place, they would not only preach the truth about Jesus, but then in order to prove that what they preached was true, they would have mighty works that would build up the body of Christ. matched

So that's what those charisms are for. matched

And the third sense of grace that we can talk about today are actual graces. matched

In paragraph twenty, twenty-four, it says God also acts through many actual graces to be distinguished from habitual grace, which is permanent in us. matched
