My Lexicon

Faith
-- Faith is first of all a personal adherence of man to God. At the same time, and inseparably, it is a free assent to the whole truth that God has revealed (CCC 150).

Hope
-- Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit (CCC 1817).

Love
-- God is Love (1 John 4:8); Love is the fullfillment of the Law (Romans 13:10); "I [Jesus] have come not to abolish but to fulfill [the Law] (Matthew 5:17).
