In
Christian theology, a
charism (plural:
charisms or
charismata; in
Greek singular:
charisma, plural:
charismata) in general denotes any good gift that flows from
God's love to humans. The word can also mean any of the spiritual
graces and qualifications granted to every Christian to perform his or her task in the
Church. In the narrowest sense, it is a
theological term for the extraordinary graces given to individual Christians for the good of others.
