[hometext] => Isaiah 11: - 2-3
[bodytext] => 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 AUTHORS PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 3 poems for each one you submit.
