Gifts of the Holy Spirit

In the Book of Isaiah 11:2–3, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are described. In the passage, the gifts are considered ones that the Messiah would have possessed. Through Jesus, we also receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.

  • Wisdom – Helps us recognize the importance of others and the importance of keeping God central in our lives.
  • Understanding – The ability to comprehend the meaning of God’s message.
  • Knowledge – The ability to think about and explore God’s revelation, and also to recognize there are mysteries of faith beyond us.
  • Counsel – The ability to see the best way to follow God’s plan when we have choices that relate to Him.
  • Fortitude – The courage to do what one knows is right.
  • Piety – Helps us pray to God in true devotion.
  • Fear of the Lord – The feeling of amazement before God, who is all-present, and whose friendship we do not want to lose.
