Faith-Divine virtue by which we firmly believe the truths which God has revealed. Is essential for our salvation. By faith we commit our self to God. Hope- Divine virtue by which we firmly trust that God will give us eternal life and the means to obtain. It keeps us from getting discouraged.
Charity- Divine virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.
The greatest of all virtues. Jesus revealed the depths of His charity when He opened His arms on the Cross. I believe that Your divine son became Man, died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Act of Hope O my God, relying on Your almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Act of Love O my God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You.
I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Virtues and Beatitudes Humility- Disposes us to appreciate and acknowledge our true position with respect to God and others. God is the source of all good things.

The Kingdom of Heaven has been enduring violent assault, and the violent are taking it by force. Love one another, as I have loved you. John At a very early age St. Agnes had such a high regard for the virtue of chastity that she vowed her virginity to God.
At the age of 13, Roman soldiers tried to make her offer incense to God, but she refused. They offered to marry her to the son of an official.
But she answered that she was consecrated to her heavenly bridegroom. She suffered torture and meekly laid her head on the execution block.
As Fr. John A. Hardon, S. There are two versions of the Beatitudes, one from the Gospel of Matthew and one from the Gospel of Luke. Both are delivered by Christ during the Sermon on the Mount. The text of the Beatitudes given here is from Saint Matthew, Chap.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the Poor in Spirit To be poor in spirit means that we come to understand and accept-- we truly own nothing because all we have is a gift from God.
We trust in Gods providence that He will provide for all our needs. This beatitude reminds us to follow the stewardship way of life. As a steward of Gods gifts, we should use our time, talent and treasure as God desires. When I become aware of my intelligence, wealth, success, gifts and talents-- do I give God the credit.
If I have a financial hardship do I trust God to take care of all my needs and abandon myself to His care? Blessed are Those who Mourn As Christians we are to comfort those who suffer, especially the loss of a loved one. We should attend funerals and comfort those who mourn. We should pray for those who have died and offer Masses for the repose of their soul. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
A meek person is not a grabby person. This beatitude reminds us that dependence on God can unite us closely with Him even in this world. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. If we want to be like Him, we will be willing to respect the dignity of those who have offended us. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Seeing things and people as God sees them, that is, unselfishly, requires practice, but the payoff is truth — the ability to see things as they are and not be thrown off balance when good or bad things happen.
