Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

So we're reflecting on, we're learning about and thinking about the virtue of faith.

Every time you believe somebody, it involves three things.

You have to trust the person speaking to you, you have to accept the truth of what

they say, and then act on that truth. The theological virtual faith means that we need to

trust God, and that means we have to have a relationship with him.

Second, we have to accept what he has revealed.

Because how can you believe God if you don't believe what he has revealed.

Because how can you believe God if you don't believe what he's told us?

And finally, we have to act on that truth,

because if we're not willing to act on it,

it means we didn't really believe it in the first place.

So we've said that in faith, God must be the witness our belief is based on, after all, God's the only one with firsthand knowledge of the

Trinity or why he created us, which leads us to the purpose of life or what heaven is like.

No mere human being has direct access to any of this information.

We have to receive it from God.

That means that in the act of faith, it only ultimately makes sense to believe that these things are true, not because some priest told you or some parent told you or some book told you but

because God told you. But when did that happen?

When did God offer this gift of faith?

Our Father who art in heaven, hallow it would be your name,

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, hallow it would be your name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
