3 THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES
FAITH-God has given us the virtue of faith, which is a personal response to the Lord's revelation
of his holiness, love, beauty and transcendence
HOPE-God has given us the virtue of jope.
Hope fills us with the confidence that God accompanies us on our journey through life and
guides us to eternal life with him.
CHARITY-God has given us the virtue of love, the very love that he has for us. Our Lord asks us
to accept this love and respond to him with it.

and absolute submission, the "nothingness of the creature" who would not exist but for God.
