Wisdom

Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Wisdom

The gift of wisdom helps me know what is right and what God wants me to do. I can also help others do God’s will.

How can parents encourage this gift in their children?

  • Talk with the children about God’s love and how God shows this love.
  • Help them understand the difference between right and wrong.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, help me understand how much God loves me. Let me love God above everyone and everything else. Amen.
