It may be a nudge from the Holy Spirit! In a time when man clings to the world instead of Heaven, we are in more need than ever of the Sanctifier's gifts to guide us and to preserve our interior peace.

The renowned Dominican priests Frs. Walter Farrell and Dominic Hughes will help you deepen your relationship with God as they take you on a journey through the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

You'll grow in Knowledge and become certain of the "things that are not seen." You'll inculcate Wisdom as you grow in charity, and you will foster Counsel that will aid you in docility.

You'll also learn how to grow in courage as the gift of Fortitude conquers your fears and enlivens your confidence. Best of all, as you learn to cooperate in cultivating the gifts of the Holy Spirit in your life, you will find lasting tranquility and joy in living for God's glory.
