Bonaventure
Medieval
c. A.D. 1221–1274
“For the carrying out of the seven offices of the virtues there must be seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. For fear disposes to temperance, since fear transfixes the flesh; piety to true justice; knowledge to prudence; fortitude to fortitude or patience; counsel to hope; understanding to faith; wisdom to charity. Whence, just as charity is the mother and consummation of all the virtues, so wisdom is of the gifts, such that the Wise Man truly says: All good things came to me together with her, and innumerable honor through her hands.”
