Actually, when you were bapitized, made your First Communion, or got Confirmed, the Holy Spirit conferred gifts to help you grow in strength and holiness.
Recognizing these gifts and nurturing them will certainly make you a better Christian.
Wisdom : This gift helps us stay focused on God's will and his plan for us.
Understanding : Lets us grasp truths. It means seeing with the heart and the mind.
Counsel : Also called "right judgement," counsel enables us to weigh alternatives to make the right choice.
Fortitude : The ability to remain firm against pressure. (Also called courage.)
Knowledge : A person with knowledge sees more than one dimension of an issue to determine the right path.
Piety : Helps us think of ourselves as children of God and be eager to serve him.
Fear of the Lord : The wonder and awe God inspires encourages us to respect him and all his creations.
The more you use these gifts, the more you will grow in faith and holiness.
