Fruit of the Holy Spirit
The Fruit of the Holy Spirit is a biblical term that sums up nine attributes of a Christian life according to St. Paul in his ''Letter to the Galatians'' "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Catholic tradition follows the Vulgate in listing 12 fruits: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity.〔(''Catechism of he Catholic Church'', §1832 )〕 The Douay-Rheims edition replaces four with synonyms — kindness: benignity, for gentleness:mildness, for generosity:longanimity, for self-control:continency.
==Early Commentary==
Aquinas pointed out that numbered among the fruits of the Holy Spirit are certain virtues, such as charity, meekness, faith, and chastity.〔(Thomas Aquinas. ''Summa Theologica'', Second and Revised Edition, Fathers of the English Dominican Province, 1920 )〕 Augustine defined virtue as "a good habit consonant with our nature." 〔(Waldron, Martin Augustine. "Virtue." The Catholic Encyclopedia ) Vol. 15. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 5 May 2015〕
Though traditionally discussed as nine attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit, the original Greek term translated as "fruit" is singular. Aquinas explained, "Consequently fruit is mentioned there in the singular, on account of its being generically one, though divided into many species which are spoken of as so many fruits."〔 Augustine's commentary on Galatians 5:22-23, says, "the Apostle had no intention of teaching us how many (works of the flesh, or fruits of the Spirit ) there are; but to show how the former should be avoided, and the latter sought after."〔
