    Healing


    The charism of healing is a special grace given by Holy Spirit that leads a Christian to offer prayers of healing to others suffering from illness.  In exercising the gift of healing an individual prays not necessarily for a cure but for God’s help for the sufferer, so that something good may come out of the distress.  Possessing this gift involves a healthy intentional life of prayer, confidence in God’s power to provide courage in suffering and wellness of spirit regardless of the condition of the body and mind. 
     
    Being bestowed with the gift of healing is not as common as the other Charisms, because it is a very specific and unique gift.  Someone with the gift of healing allows God to work through them in bringing peace and comfort to others suffering where there seems to be no cure or expected healing.  Most often it is through prayer that the one bearing this gift heals others.  Bearers of this charism may also be given the special grace of healing through treatment and care of those in need of healing. However, prayer is a large part of that healing grace as well. 
     
    Healing is different from caregiving, as this gift is of a supernatural nature.  The healer relies solely on the will of God to heal.  Caregiving is typically of ordinary human action that becomes extraordinary through God’s love given to and from the caregiver to the recipient.
