Gifts of the Holy Ghost

Contributed by blumentopf on Tuesday, 18th May 2010 @ 12:30:49 PM in AEST
Topic: spiritual

Seven gifts the Holy Spirit is
Pleased upon God's childre to bestow,
They impart high virtues, joy and peace,
Use these gifts and let them glow and grow.

WISDOM is perfection's plenitude,
It will naught but only God desire,
Sees in Him alone the highest good,
And for God is set the heart on fire.

UNDERSTANDING corresponds to faith,
Grasps and penetrates faith's mysteries,
Intuition goes with it apace,
And discernment what to spurn or seize.

PRUDENCE, COUNSEL lofty assets are
Needed at times dismal, dark and bleak,
Keen perception goes with it au par,
It will always first God's glory seek.

FORTITUDE gives strength to do the Will
Of the Lord alone and readily,
Who will all His promises fulfll,
With His plans full of benignity.

KNOWLEDGE does enable to discover
What the Will of God may truly be,
And the soul knows that this great true lover
Loves man's service with fidelity.

PIETY is happy to obey.
God the Father and His Holy Word,
Who is truth, the light and our way,
Blessed is man who does obey the Lord.

FEAR OF GOD means reverence and awe
Of His grandeur and His majesty,
For the creature with so many a flaw
Shall behold the Holy Trinity.

Blessed are these glorious gifts indeed,
For men downcast, down and out and lost,
Poor humanity has so much need
Of these great gifts of the Holy Ghost,

Isaiah 11:`-2-3

(c) Elizabeth Dandy
