1. FAITH
It is confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity (god or
goddess) or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion;
it is also belief that is not based on evidence or proof.
WHAT IS FAITH FOR YOU?
Faithfulness is being loyal to our beliefs,
remaining firm and steadfast regardless of what
happens. When our faith is tested, we stay strong,
and learn from the experience. We do our work with
meticulous care and excellence, faithful to its true
intent.

2. The theological virtue of Faith gives our intellect
the supernatural knowledge by which we can direct
our lives toward God. The virtue of Hope allows us
to see this life with God as something possible to
attain. The virtue of Charity transforms our human
will by allowing us to enjoy the spiritual union with
God that begins with Faith.

3. Faith is the habit by which we believe in God and
what He has revealed. Because Christ entrusted His
teaching authority to the apostles, Faith is also the
habit by which we embrace the teachings of the
Church. Faith precedes the other theological virtues
because its first act is to allow us to recognize the
existence of God, who is the object every virtue
seeks to possess.
