In Catholicism, a charism is a special, freely given gift or grace from the Holy Spirit, given to individuals or groups to build up the Church, serve others, and spread the Gospel, manifesting as particular talents, inclinations, or spiritual powers, ranging from ordinary (like teaching, service, mercy) to extraordinary (like prophecy, healing). It's the unique spiritual purpose or "personality" of a religious community (like the Jesuits or Franciscans) and also the unique gifts each baptized person receives for their specific role in the Body of Christ.
