| | U.S. Catholic Bishops - Catechism of the Catholic Church |
 | | Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and believe all that he has said and revealed to us, and that Holy Church proposes for our belief, because he is truth itself. | | | Justice toward God is called the "virtue of religion." Justice toward men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish in human relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to persons and to the common good. | | | By faith, we believe in God and believe all that he has revealed to us and that Holy Church proposes for our belief. |

| | Charity; purgatory |
| | There is no possibility of the theological virtue of faith, for faith is the assent to that which we cannot see, on the authority of God who reveals. | | | They consequently have the infused supernatural virtues of faith and hope, by which they believe what they will one day see, and hope for what they will one day possess. | | | They are self-evident, in virtue of the beatific vision, and there is no longer any possibility of faith. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Virtue |
| | It is commonly defined as a Divinely infused virtue, by which we trust, with an unshaken confidence grounded on the Divine assistance, to attain life everlasting. | | | Theological virtues do not absolutely (per se) consist in a mean, as their object is something infinite. | | | Thus perpetual chastity, which renounces all sexual pleasures, and voluntary poverty, which renounces all temporal possessions, are true virtues, when exercised for the motive of more surely securing life everlasting. |

| | The Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love |
| | The origins of the Theological Virtues lie with Scripture. | | | MY God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; I believe that Thy divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He shall come to judge the living and the dead. | | | I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived. |

| | The fruits of this third conversion are a true and deep humility, and a living faith that begins to relish and savor the mysteries of the supernatural order-as it were, a foretaste of eternal life. | | | WE have seen the different conceptions which various writers have proposed of the three stages or periods of the spiritual life; and we have seen which of these is to be regarded as the traditional one. | | | This distinction between the three periods or stages of the spiritual life is clearly of great importance, as those who are charged with the direction of souls well know. |

| | Virtue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In Christianity, the theological virtues are faith, hope and charity, a list which comes from 1 Corinthians 13:13. | | | In the official Catechism of the Catholic Church published in 1992 by Pope John Paul II, these seven vices are dealt as moral transgression for Christians and should complement the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes as the basis for any true Morality. | | | These are said to perfect one's love of God and Man and therefore (since God is super-rational) to harmonize and partake of prudence. |

Mary was, and is, the epitome of human obedience to the will of God, and this total submission to the will of God is the "secret of the whole spiritual life". | | | Through Faith, we believe in the testimony of God, and have absolute trust and confidence in what God has revealed. | | | We have Faith in the goodness and omnipotence of God since He has revealed this about Himself. |

| | The Chief Virtues of Man (1905) |
| | There is a natural virtue of faith in the things of this world, which all men possess, and without which human life could not go on; for, as has often been pointed out, men in their business affairs act, not on mathematical certainty, but on probability; that is, on faith. | | | The natural virtue of faith, on which all our business life depends, is a belief in human evidence--in a sense, a belief in one another. | | | And in meditation, more than in any other way, you exercise and develop faith; you transform the potential faith which is infused into you soul, into the actual faith which enables you to live that life of faith by which you please God, and taste, even now, of the happiness which belongs to God's children. |

.And without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:1,6). | | | For instance, one does not have the virtue of faith if one believes in Christ only once a week. | | | These virtues are called theological, from the Greek term theos (meaning God), because their object is God. |
