Meaning of gifts of the spirit :

 

St. Paul talks about the “spiritual gifts” (see 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12) which are given to each member of the body of Christ to help build up and serve the whole community and its mission and ministry. They are also called “charisms” and represent all the ways our lives are to be instruments of God’s care and love to others. At the time of Confirmation the Church focuses on all these gifts of the Spirit to encourage the candidate for Confirmation to be ready to use whatever gifts God has given them. The prayer for Confirmation traditionally names seven gifts of the Spirit (not meant to be a complete list) taken from Isaiah 11:2: wisdom, understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence (piety), and fear (wonder and awe) of the Lord.
