Is a gift of God which is knowledge and trust
The faithful can receive when we fervently ask for it.
Faith requires free-will
Faith is incomplete unless it leads to active love
Absolutely certain because Jesus guarantees it
It gives us a foretaste of the joy in heaven
Is the substance of hoped for
The proof of things not seen
Supernatural power that attains salvation
Means putting up God’s incomprehensibility for a lifetime
To respond to God that we believe Him
God returns to us either in His Word or the voice of our conscience
Faith seeks understanding
Acceptance of truth that our reason cannot attain

Life, an infirm spark,
An unsteady flame,
A powerful blaze,
Increasing in speed and ability.
To be precise,
The incomprehensibility,
The knowledge gathered,
The continuity and discretion;
The unity, and the strict subordination,
With the reduction of friction and of material at a personal cost,
These are raised to the optimum point;
It is in the strict functionary direction of life.
