Welcome to daily Rosary meditations with Dr. Mike Schurslick, where you learn how to meditate

and establish a daily habit of prayer while discovering the truths of the Catholic faith.

Is there someone you know that could benefit from daily prayer?

Share this meditation with them. with them. Welcome to our daily rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

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

What do you believe?

Although faith demands placing one's trust in God,

that isn't all there is to it. There's an actual content of belief,

actual propositions we must hold is true. For example, imagine a wife telling her husband she was pregnant.

Imagine then he responded by saying,

Dear, I totally believe you, but I don't think we're having a baby. You're either lying or mistaken and what what you've said is untrue.

But again I totally believe you

pretend to believe me?

his wife would exclaim, how can you pretend to believe me

while disbelieving what I'm saying.

She'd be quite right.

If you really trust the speaker, then you accept what the speaker says is true. This is equally required for the theological virtue of faith.

Many people say they have faith, meaning they feel that God exists but such a feeling is irrelevant

and meaningless. Faith means we believe God has revealed very important

specific knowledge, real content, and we live according to those truths.
