Understanding

The gift of understanding helps you accept the truths of faith and being a follower of Christ. It enables you to make right choices in your relationship with God and others.

Counsel

The gift of counsel helps you see the right choices to make. Using this gift, you seek direction in the sacrament of reconciliation, and advice from your parents or friends. It also enables you to give advice and encourage others to do the right thing.

Courage and Fortitude

The gift of courage or fortitude helps you be strong when you face opposition to your faith. It enables you to stand up for your beliefs and to live as a follower of Christ.

Knowledge

The gift of knowledge helps you know what God asks of you and how you should respond. This gift helps you to recognize temptations for what they are and turn to God for help.

Piety or Reverence

The gift of piety helps you love and worship God. It helps you respect people and all things dedicated to God.
