Q. 1. What is Divine Faith?

A. 1. Divine faith is an accent of the mind in co-operation with grace and free will by which we believe in all that God has revealed.

Divine faith is distinct from human faith, which is the acceptance of the word of a human being.

In Hebrews 11:6, we read: "Without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that comes to God must believe that he is and is rewarder to them that seek him."

Q. 2. How is Divine faith possible?

A. 2. Divine faith is possible because God gives us the grace to believe. We are able to listen to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, who enlightens the mind and moves the will and therefore makes it easy for us to accept what God has revealed.

Q. 3. How can our faith be deepened?

A. 3. Our faith can be deepened by prayer, study, and the practice of what we believe.

Q. 4. What does it mean to have our faith deepened?

A. 4. To have our faith deepened means that we are able to understand better the meaning of what we believe, to see the truths of faith more clearly and extensively, to adhere to them more firmly, and to put them into more effective practice in our Christian lives.
