Faith is the theological virture by which we believe in God and in all that he has said and revealed to us, and that the Church has proposed for our belief. And the reason why we commit ourselves so entirely to God is because God is truth itself. The believer seeks to know God's will and to do it. The believing theologian sees to know God more and more. A more penetrating knowledge should in turn call forth a greater faith and increasingly set the heart on fire with the love of God.
Faith leads to prayer and is nourished by prayer.
Prayer has an irreplaceable place in our life of faith. To nourish our faith we should also read the Word of God, especially the Gospels. On Isaiah, Prol. The Catholic graduate should also be conversant with the documents of the Second Vatican Council and with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is the best compendium on our faith in our times. The Magisterium, or the Teaching Office of the Church, is present in every age.
