Faith and reason	1905		.txt	text/plain	10132	391	68	That is, Faith has two peculiari- ties ; it is most certain, decided, positive, and immovable in its assent ; and it gives this assent, not because it sees with eye, or sees with reason, but because it receives the tidings from one that comes from God.” “To believe,” says St. Thomas, the Angel of the Schools, “is an act of the under- standing adhering to divine truth by command of the will which is moved by the grace of God” With this explanation before us it is clear that God, as well as man, takes part in every act of Faith ; and that Faith is not the natural outcome of a mere process of reasoning, but the supernatural result of man’s co- operation with the grace of God.	cache/_005195470.txt	txt/_005195470.txt
