Faith Is a Human Act

Believing is possible only by grace Interior helps the Eternal Holy Spirit It is no less true that believing is an authentically human act Trusting in Eternal God and cleaving to the truths he has revealed Are contrary neither to human freedom onor to human reason Even in human relations it is not contrary to our dignity to believe What other persons tell us about themselves Their intentions or to trust their promises For example When a man and a woman marry To share a communion of life with one another If this is so Still less is it contrary to our dignity To yield by faith the full submission of Intellect and will to Eternal God who reveals To share a communion with him 1252015
