What are ten qualities a saint should have?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerThe first quality a saint must have is humility, as God only gives His gifts to the humble. With humility and prayer, a person then receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts actually come with baptism and confirmation, in embryo, but they came to fruition with humility and prayer: wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and the fear of the Lord. (see Isaiah xi, 2). They must be distinguished from the virtues and from actual grace. There are three theological virtues: faith, hope, and love; and the moral virtues which are prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, purity, religion, etc. And the intellectual virtues: wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. And finally the fruits of the Holy Ghost which are charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity.
