The Three Theological Virtues
Faith - The effects of this faith are freedom from
the power of the devil, the attainment of virtue,
and progress toward perfection by righteous life.
Hope - An expectation of something desired, Christian
hope is trust and confidence in the eternal goodness
of God, a faith that Christ has overcome, the
suffering of this world. God is both the cause and
goal of hope.
Love - Charity, union, affection, friendship;
unselfish concern for other's good. The love of
Christians for each other and for the world is
a reflection of the love between the three Persons
of the Holy Trinity.
