I am often surprised by how well I can know something without really knowing it. Although I’ve been aware of the fact for years, I was suddenly struck yesterday by how significant it is that, in giving the Church the one Gift of the Holy Spirit in the form of many Spiritual gifts, God makes us participants in His own gift-giving.

This is a profound and wonderful truth.

    A very profound and interesting observation. Thanks.

    P.S. Good readers of Ally’s blog, I offer you a once in a lifetime chance to see Ally as a pumpkin.
