THE TWELVE FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1832) and traditional Catholic teaching, the twelve fruits of the Holy Spirit are virtues that result from living in harmony with the Holy Spirit. These fruits are:
1. Charity (Love)
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Generosity
8. Gentleness
9. Faithfulness
10. Modesty
11. Self-control
12. Chastity
These are different from the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (like wisdom, understanding, etc.), which are received at Confirmation. The fruits are the visible effects or signs that the Spirit is active in a person’s life.
