The Invitation: Prayers, Practices, Resources & Verses for Embracing Your Baptismal Identity is a gateway resource designed to guide you toward healing and restoration of your true identity as beloved children of God, launching January 1.
If you’ve been looking for help in addressing your Identity Quotient on the Charism Assessment, or just growing in intimacy with God in general, this is the perfect companion for you.
This carefully curated guide offers scriptural foundations, practical first steps for addressing specific struggles, and connections to trusted Catholic books, podcasts, healing ministries, and apostolates.
Rather than attempting to provide paths to helping you heal your identity ourselves, we created The Invitation as a starting point on your identity journey—a compass that can point you toward many of the amazing Catholic resources that will minister to you exactly where you are.
The Invitation is a guide to addressing wounds to your baptismal identity, orienting you toward the many resources available for Catholics seeking healing and restoration. Inside you'll find thoroughly Catholic teaching on who God is, who you are, and what relationship God desires to have with you, along with carefully curated connections to apostolates, ministries, books, retreats, and spiritual practices that can help you continue to grow in these areas.
Whether you struggle with wounds from your past, distorted views of God or yourself, or simply a sense that you haven't fully embraced who God created you to be, this resource will meet you where you are and point you toward specific help from God and other members of the Body of Christ.
The Invitation is currently available for pre-order and will launch on January 1, 2026
I have been obsessed with charisms since I was 17 years old, which is also when I first discovered how little there was available to learn about charisms. I have spent the last 17 years learning about charisms through the writings of the Popes, the Catechism, early Church fathers, and the lives of the saints, as well as the instruction of the Holy Spirit through the hundreds of people He has graciously allowed me to accompany in one-on-one charism discernment.
I am humbled to get to create these charism discernment resources for a new generation of Catholics alongside my amazing team. I hope that these resources minister to your heart and help reveal where the Holy Spirit is calling you to further build the Church.
Please do note that we did not create any of these linked resources ourselves, and therefore, the inclusion of any ministry, apostolate, book, retreat, or other resource in this guide does not constitute a formal endorsement of all content, methodologies, or theological perspectives they may present.
While we have made every effort to recommend resources aligned with Catholic teaching, we encourage readers to exercise prudent discernment and consult with trusted spiritual advisors when necessary.
Many Parts Ministries is also not responsible for changes in content, personnel, or theological orientation that may occur within these recommended resources after the publication of this guide, but we would love the opportunity to update it. Please email use at [email protected] if there are any changes we should be made aware of.
This guide is offered as a pastoral resource and is not intended to replace professional psychological or medical care. Many struggles related to identity may benefit from or require professional treatment alongside spiritual support. Please consult qualified healthcare providers for issues related to mental health, addiction, or other medical concerns.
Finally, we recognize that your healing journey is deeply personal and that different approaches resonate with different individuals. If a particular recommended resource does not seem helpful for your specific situation, we encourage you to explore other pathways or consult with a parish priest or spiritual director who knows your particular circumstances.
Access all of our charism learning resources, including The Invitation, anytime, anywhere with the free Many Parts app. Watch lessons, chat in the community, download content for offline learning, and track your progress seamlessly.
