Catholic Word of the Day: GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE, 01-15-10
CatholicReference.net ^ | 01-15-10 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random):

GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE

One of the seven infused gifts. By the illuminating action of the Holy Spirit it perfects the virtue of faith. It gives a person the ability to judge everything from a supernatural viewpoint. The object of this gift is the whole spectrum of created things insofar as they lead one to God. Through infused knowledge the faithful can see the providential purpose of whatever enters their lives, and they are able to put creatures to the right use according to God's will for themselves and for others. Sometimes called "the science of the saints," it enables those who have the gift to discern easily and effectively between the impulses of temptation and the inspirations of grace.
