Question 45 — The Gift of Wisdom

We must now consider the gift of wisdom which corresponds to charity; and first, wisdom itself, second, the opposite vice. Under the first head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether wisdom should be reckoned among the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

  • (2) What is its subject?
  • (3) Whether wisdom is only speculative or also practical?
  • (4) Whether the wisdom that is a gift is compatible with mortal sin?
  • (5) Whether it is in all those who have sanctifying grace?
  • (6) Which beatitude corresponds to it?
