intention. 1. In moral theology, an act of free will directed to the attainment of an end. Such intention may be ‘actual’ if one wills with conscious attention; ‘virtual’ if one continues to will in virtue of a previous decision, though at the time not consciously aware of it; or ‘habitual’ if all voluntary action has ceased but without the original decision being revoked. The intention influences the morality of an action.
2. In the administration of the Sacraments, the purpose of doing what the Church does. Such intention on the part of the minister is essential.
3. The special object, material or spiritual, for which a prayer of
intercession is made.
4. In
Scholastic theories of knowledge the term was sometimes used of the objects of knowledge in so far as they are present to the knowing consciousness.
