Charity
Charity is the third and greatest theological virtue: for Aquinas it is friendship with God — a love, poured in by grace, by which we love God for his own sake and our neighbour in him. It is “the form of the virtues.”
Hope
In Aquinas’s theology, hope is the second theological virtue: a movement of the will, raised by grace, that reaches toward eternal happiness as a future good — arduous, but possible to attain with God’s help.
Faith
In Thomas Aquinas’s theology, faith is a theological virtue: an act of the intellect assenting to divine truth at the command of a will moved by grace — firmer than opinion, yet concerned with things unseen.
Akathist to our Most Holy Lady Mother of God
The Akathist Hymn to the Most Holy Theotokos — the great Byzantine hymn of praise to the Mother of God, chanted standing (a-kathistos, 'not sitting'). Traditionally ascribed to St. Romanos the Melodist, its proem was added in thanksgiving for the deliverance of Constantinople from the siege of 626.
