Session 1

Suggested Study Time: 2 hours
Material from pages 1-41 in Holy Spirit 101

About this Session

The most important aim of Session 1 is to remove doubts, fears, and worries about the charismatic material, connect with the students, and ultimately make them feel comfortable enough to approach a prayer team for the practicum after the lecture.

Prior to watching the first video, students should be familiar with pages 1-41 of the text, Holy Spirit 101.

STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After reading pages 1-41 of Holy Spirit 101 and watching the video, it is our hope that students will be able to:

• Give examples of the movements of the Holy Spirit from the beginning of the Church to present times
• Explain why it is important to today
• Give examples of evangelizing in cooperation with the Holy Spirit
• Distinguish between personal and charismatic charisms
• Name the defining elements of charisms
• Identify the nine Pauline charisms
• Identify the elements necessary for yielding to the Holy Spirit
• Define Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
• Recognize consolations associated with the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
• Explain how to pray for an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
• Prayerfully discern their personal short-term commitment in growing in the charisms of the Holy Spirit
• Recognize that growing in the charisms is a lifelong process
