Faith is the foundation and doorway to hope and Charity. It is like a flower. Faith is the root, hope is the stem, Charity is the blossum. Faith and hope are passing, Charity is eternal. In Heaven, we will no longer have Faith and Hope, only Charity.

Any action against faith kills charity. Actions against charity, however, do not kill faith. Faith empowers the saints to die of love. Questions about faith do not mean losing faith. Doubt, itself doesn’t destroy faith. When having doubts, say the Creed. Understanding is a gift of the Holy Spirit, where we have a deep understanding of Faith. “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they can see the light” Baptism is for our own salvation, Confirmation is for the salvation of others. Jesus Christ personally walks on this earth the the acts of Charity made by the confirmed Christian. Confirmation is very importaint to marriage and family life.
