Faith is both:
+ A gift of God
+ A human act

In faith, the believer:
+ Gives personal adherence to God
+ Freely assents to the truth that God has revealed

It is this revelation of God which we
+ Profess in the Creed
+ Celebrate in the sacraments
+ Live by right conduct
+ Respond to in our prayer of faith

Faith is both
+ A theological virtue given by God as grace
+ An obligation which flows from the first commandment of God

The first commandment requires us to nourish and protect our faith with prudence and vigilance, and to reject everything that is opposed to it.

A few nice quotes about faith by unknown authors:
+ Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.
+ Weave in faith and God will find the thread.
+ A little faith will bring your soul to heaven, but a lot of faith will bring heaven to your soul.
+ Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.

With love in Christ.
