When we pray the Pentecost novena, we often ask the Holy Spirit to give us the sanctifying gifts. How do these gifts change our lives?

Fr. James Brent joins Jessica today to talk about the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Fr. James and Jess discuss:

The difference between sanctifying gifts and charismatic gifts
How sanctifying gifts transform your life
How you can experience more of the sanctifying gifts
