The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

God truly changes the human person, and through the gifts of the Holy Spirit he enables the Christian to receive his immediate, wise, and loving direction. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit remains a classic text of Thomistic theology and spirituality. Its author, John of St. Thomas, provides a marvelous example of how sound philosophy and theology bear significant implications for happy living. This book, like its topic, may intimidate the casual reader. However, any investment of time and energy given to its pages does not go unrewarded. Father Walter Farrell, O.P., said it well: “Here in this book, even the most unscholarly will get a glimpse, again and again, of the glory of God in the soul of man.”
