Here is number two in our attempt to interview the characteristics of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are on the Veranda and everything is set up for our time together today. I chose Piety.

So Piety we don’t hear from you so much these days. Are you here from a long lost era? How do we link up here today? Yes, I could look you up in the big fat paper dictionary, of course. Well, I see words like religious but here, this I like, “the quality of being dutiful”. There that is a good start.

So, what is there about dutiful that is so much of a gift? It sounds like something else that I have to do, another chore. Wait, what are you saying, that I have been chosen? That is the gift that I have been chosen to do these duties? Well, OK, let me digest that a minute.

So, what other revelations do you have for us today? Ah, you wish that we would use the word “piety” more often. OK, but it seems so, so old fashioned. Well, yes, it could be high time for a revival, maybe so.

Is it hard to be the old fashioned one in the group when the others seem so much more modern? Yes, yes, you all have been working together for a long time now. And things go in and out of vogue or importance depending. In other eras you were looked at differently than today. So, it is just your turn to be old fashioned, I see, sort of a break.

OK, thanks for taking the time to be with us on the Veranda today. Any last thoughts? To do your duties with joy, that’s important. Right, I see that.

Thanks for sticking with me loves, Felipé.
