"Let us not forget..." Let us not forget that by Faith the soul accepts Him as the source of Truth and does so not by its own power. In return He gives us a power not of our own reasoning. This power to believe in Faith is in the soul, like the power to see is in the eye. When we see with Faith we see far more clearly that can ever be discerned by human eyes and reason without Faith.
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1
Peace be with you

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." I have 'faith' that the Magisterium's pronouncements are correct.
