TCR 137 - our faith and its truths

TCR 137 [5]

. . . our faith is,
has been,
and ever will be
in the Lord God the Savior,
whose Human is Divine
and whose Divine is Human. 

This makes it easy for us to accept,
as uniting the Divine spiritual to the natural of men.
So it becomes a spiritual faith at the natural level,
and this makes the natural as it were translucent,
as the result of the spiritual light
which illuminates our faith. 

The truths of which it is made up
are as numerous as the verses in Holy Writ;
all its truths are like stars,
which by their light show it forth and give it form. 

A person acquires faith from the Word
by means of his own natural powers of enlightenment,
which are based upon
knowledge, thought and false belief. 

But with those who believe in the Lord,
He turns these into
conviction, trust and confidence.
This makes the natural faith spiritual,
and charity gives it life.
