UNDERSTANDING

Understanding helps us to grasp the meaning of true religion. By faith we know, but we learn to appreciate and relish it by understanding. Understanding enables us to penetrate the inner meanings of revealed truth, through which we are, quickened to newness of life, and our faith ceases to be sterile and inactive.

COUNSEL

Counsel endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what must be done, especially in difficult circumstances. 

It helps in making right judgement, and act correctly in times of trouble and trials, enlightening a person on what to do. 

It helps one to speak without fear in defence of his or her convictions.
