lumen fidei - 6 and 7

6 -

Vatican II is an important point of reference.  It is about faith.  The year of faith began on its fiftieth annniversary.  Vatican II is a gift that needs to be reinforced and nourished in order to continue to guide the faithful.

7 -

Faith is a supernatural gift.  It is not something we gain merely by our own effort.  It is relational.  It is a word spoken to us, offering us love: Jesus Christ.  It has the power to transform us, light our future, and grow in joyful hope.  Faith, hope, and charity and the driving forces of the Christian life. But where does it lead?  From where does it come?  We'll start to examine those questions in chapter one.
