Description
Excerpt from The Directorium Asceticum, Vol. 4 of 4: Or, Guide to the Spiritual Life
The same holy Doctor Shows the definition of Faith given by St Augustine to be identical with that of» St Paul as is also the definition given by St John Damascene 31'' as well as the divers explanations whereby divines seek to set forth the essence of this sublime Virtue. But as we have to suit ourselves to the capacity of each and every one who may read this page, we will reduce these several definitions to the most homely and intelligible terms possible; and we say that supernatural and divine faith is a theological virtue which lifts up our minds to a firm belief of all that God has revealed, on account of the sole motive of its having been revealed by the God of boundless wisdom and truth. We will weigh each of these words, so that the nature of a Virtue so essential to Christian life may be made plain to minds nu trained in theological science.
