Gift of Counsel
Permanent
capacity to receive the light of Jesus' counsel, so that we can use it
to make acts of, and develop habits of, supernatural counsel. These
acts and habits enable us to discern what God wants us to think, say,
or do at each moment; and to plan a daily agenda, along with the ways
and means to carry it out.
Virtue of Justice
Permanent
capacity to receive Jesus' power of justice, so that we can use it to
make acts of, and develop habits of, supernatural justice. These acts
and habits enable us to always do the right thing, consistently giving
ourselves firm, effective self-commands to always do God's Will, and
keep our New Covenant with Him.
Capital Sin: Envy
Tendency
to sadness at others' good fortune, success, talents, etc. - inspired
by pride. Envy produces cunning in efforts to cut others down, spoil
their success, manipulate them, and exalt self. It addicts us to
cunning and hypocrisy as perverse substitutes for true counsel and
justice.
