	The pastoral gifts (Greek, ''charismata'' or "charisms") are given to human beings who act as instruments in God's hands to build, unify, and maintain the Body of Christ. No verse in the Scriptures says, "These offices and charisms have been replaced by the Bible." ''The Scriptures are actually incapable of saying that because [["Bible" in the Bible\|the word "Bible" is not in the Bible]].''

	Catholics trust the Holy Spirit and accept that "''all scripture'' is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim 3:16-17).

	When we look back at the Old Testament through New Testament eyes, we see that Joseph really suffered, died symbolically, and was effectively "raised from the dead" by God's Providence. Jesus really suffered, really died, and was truly raised from the dead by His Father. For us, Joseph's story is a "prophecy" about Jesus. We see things through hindsight that are invisible to the original audience--and probably to the original authors, too!

	For Catholics, the Church is most herself ''after'' Jesus has ascended and sent the Holy Spirit to "complete His work on earth"<ref>Eucharistic Prayer IV, 1973 translation. </ref> The Church uses an organic model of revelation. Just as the body needs to develop from a single cell into a mature organism, so the Church needed to develop its structures and powers over the course of time. The very earliest moment of an organism's existence is ''not'' the best part of its life; the single cell is meant to multiply and differentiate until all the powers of its nature are expressed in its mature form.

			We have to draw some of the meaning of Jesus' words from what comes after. Hindsight is the servant of insight, and insight is essential to the act of faith.
