Absolutely. I’ll be seeking that out again, now.

C, oh dear. Well, I guess there could be many different theological perspectives; they can probably all at least help us to reflect on these things from different viewpoints, and allow us to find connections we hadn’t seen before.

Jackie, will do. Thanks for visiting.

Well, because these delineations act on my mind as a big warm woolen blanket — so that I end up thinking that any of the Gifts can perfect any of the Virtues — I tried looking it up. Naturally, I only found (right across the board, but differing even one from another!) whatever seems to contradict Fr. Most on your particular question. Perhaps I was given dark chocolate raspberry creams instead of knowledge, but whatever, I’m sorry– I can’t provide any clarification.

For myself too, Cathy, but it needs pondering, as C says. The one I’m thinking about most right now is knowledge perfecting the virtue of hope. Trying to think of examples, situations, etc. Would love to hear any of your ideas about that one, or any of the others as well.

That seems so deep, so complicated, so difficult. Admittedly, I’m still working on trying not to snap at my husband–at least until he is awake. Perhaps I’d better read Fr. Most’s article.

This really was enlightening! I, too, wish they had been defined with such depth in so few words. This has been most revealing to me! Thank you!
