What is the difference between the gifts mentioned in the Holy Bible versus those in the Catechism of the Catholic Church?
A. The gifts of the Holy Spirit that are mentioned in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “they complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations.” (C.C.C. # 1831) The gifts of the Holy Spirit that are mentioned in the Holy Spirit are “for the common good.” [1 Cor. 12:7] In other words, those found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church serve the purpose of personal growth. Those found in the Holy Spirit are for the good of the entire Church and they are to be shared with the members of the Church.
