| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Daily Rosary Meditations with Dr. Mike Shurzlick, where you learn how to meditate and establish a daily habit of prayer while discovering the truths of the Catholic faith. |
| 0:16.3 | Is there someone you know that could benefit from daily prayer, share this meditation with them. |
| 0:29.5 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:33.0 | Amen. And let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:40.3 | We are meditating on the virtue of faith, but we have to take up a specific issue today. There is the false idea that real knowledge comes from science and that belief or faith is not real knowledge. |
| 0:50.3 | It's uncertain opinion. |
| 0:52.3 | Like when someone asks, will it rain today? And we respond, I don't know, but I believe so. |
| 0:59.7 | So we need to correct this false idea that faith is not real knowledge. |
| 1:06.2 | Belief is when someone tells you something you could not know on your own, and we make the choice to believe |
| 1:14.2 | them and to act on that information. And we do this all the time. We believe the pharmacist who tells us |
| 1:21.7 | what this medication does, and we believe the person who lives in a foreign city where to find a good meal, |
| 1:29.5 | and we believe the author who tells us Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo in 1815, |
| 1:36.3 | even though we have no firsthand knowledge of any of this. |
| 1:43.0 | The theological virtue of faith is when we hold something to be |
| 1:48.1 | true based on what God has told us through Jesus and his body, which is the church. With this |
| 1:57.6 | theological virtue, God tells us something we couldn't know on our own, |
| 2:02.5 | and we make the choice to accept what God says as true, and then we act on that information. |
| 2:08.9 | So faith adds real knowledge from God to our human knowledge, |
| 2:14.0 | and by accepting what God has said, we can know things that God knows. |
| 2:19.3 | And this knowledge radically changes our life. |
| 2:23.3 | Of all the knowledge we have, faith is the most certain, |
| 2:29.3 | because all our other knowledge comes from fallible human sources that can make mistakes. |
