Description: In this video, we are putting down the oars and looking at thes next step of the spiritual journey.This video raising the sails according to Thomas Aquinas, the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord) are not things we do.
