Gifts of the Holy Spirit Collage

1.       The First Image I choose was the owl with the pointer and hat. I choose this image for wisdom because owls are seen as old and wise creatures and represent the same time of curiosity and devotion towards God.
2.       The next image I choose was the sky that was clearing up. This image represents understanding. Through the clouds clearing up you see a more direct view of the sky. This is like the virtue of understanding because it allows us to see more clearly the mysteries of faith.
3.       The next picture was the virtue of council and that was the warning symbol.  This was appropriate because council warns us of the evil of the devil and of the dangers that are seen on the path of salvation.
4.       The next image is the lion which symbolizes fortitude. Lions are strong creatures that stand their ground in life. This is like the virtue of fortitude which strengthens us to do the will of God in all things.
5.       The next picture is of a mind that is a tree. This represents knowledge. Our brain is like a tree growing and always learning. It gives us the ability to grasp new things. This is like the virtue of knowledge which enables us to discover the will of God in all things.
6.       The next picture represents Piety. This is a picture of a book with pages folded into a heart. The virtue of Piety means to love God as our Father and obey and him because of love. This picture expresses that because the heart shows love and how if we are to read the book we could gain knowledge and follow what it says and obey God out of our love.
7.       The last picture is of a child who is scared this represents the virtue of fear of the Lord. The child obviously is afraid of something and in the case of the virtue it would be sin and of offending God.
