St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible."
The theologian Paul Tillich said, “Faith is a state of being ultimately concerned about something unconditionally.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “In faith, the human intellect and will co-operate with divine grace: Believing is an act of the intellect assenting to the divine truth by command of the will moved by God through grace .”
Reflect on your gift of faith and thank God for it.
May God Be Praised.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
And another bit of wisdom of the ages, like it...
(reportedly, circa 1627, possibly from one of our seperated brethren?)
In essentials, unity;
In non-essentials, liberty;
In all things, charity!
As ever, thanks very much for your ministry & lived witness!
Peace.
May God Be Praised.
