Counsel is a gift of the Holy Spirit that perfects the virtue of prudence, enabling a person to judge rightly and quickly what must be done in complex moral situations.
Counsel is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. It perfects the cardinal virtue of prudence by making the soul docile and responsive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in making moral decisions, especially in difficult or complex situations (CCC 1831).
While human prudence requires deliberation and reasoning, the gift of counsel operates as a kind of supernatural intuition. It helps the believer to discern the will of God clearly and promptly, illuminating the path of righteousness and guiding the person to speak and act in ways that serve their salvation and that of others (CCC 1831).
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
