Cyril of Jerusalem

Catechetical Lecture 5.11 (386)

This faith which is given by the Spirit as a grace is not just doctrinal faith but a faith which empowers activities surpassing human nature, a faith which moves mountains.… For just as a grain of mustard seed is of little bulk but of explosive energy, taking a trifling space for its planting and then sending out great branches all around, so that when it is grown it can give shelter to the birds, so in like manner the faith present in one's soul achieves the greatest things by the most summary decision.

Gifts of intellect, namely, (1) wisdom; Gifts dependent on a special faith, namely, that of miracles (Mt 17:20): (1) healings;
