The Gift of Knowledge

The gift of Knowledge enables the soul to evaluate created things at their true worth, which is found in their relation to God.
-Knowledge unmasks the pretense of creatures, reveals their emptiness. It shows us the loving care of God even in adversity, and directs us to glorify Him in every circumstance of life. Guided by the gift of knowledge, we put first things first, and prize the friendship of God above all else.
-"Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it."

Prayer

Come, O Blessed Spirit of Knowledge, and grant that I may perceive the will of the Father; show me the nothingness of earthly things, that I may realize their vanity and use them only for Thy glory and my own salvation, looking ever beyond them to Thee, and Thy eternal rewards. Amen.
