Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
2 Timothy 2:7
If the gift of Knowledge enables us to see God's truth, the gift of Understanding enables us to grasp those truths on the deepest spiritual level.
Catholic Answers calls it "penetrating insight into the very heart of things, especially those higher truths that are necessary for our eternal salvation." It enables us to dig beneath the surface, and is a faculty of spirit rather than mind.
Give me grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You always and everywhere, ‘Speak Lord for Your servant heareth.’ Amen.
Come, O Spirit of Understanding, and enlighten our minds, that we may know and believe all the mysteries of salvation; and may merit at last to see the eternal light in Thy Light; and in the light of glory to have a clear vision of Thee and the Father and the Son. Amen.
