Understanding, as a gift of the
Holy Spirit, helps us to grasp the
meaning of the truths of our holy
religion. By faith we know them,
but by Understanding we learn to
appreciate and relish them. It
enables us to penetrate the inner
meaning of revealed truths and
through them to be quickened to a
newness of life. Our faith ceases to
be sterile and inactive, but inspires
a mode of life that bears eloquent
testimony to the faith that is in us;
we begin to "walk worthy of God in
all things pleasing and increasing
in the knowledge of God."
