Day 231 - The Supernatural Virtues

What are the three supernatural virtues?  
The supernatural virtues are faith, hope, and charity. They are called “supernatural” because they have their foundation in God, are directly related to God, and are for us men the way by which we can reach God directly.
Why are faith, hope, and charity virtues? 
Faith, hope, and charity, too, are genuine powers— bestowed by God, of course—that a person can develop and consolidate with the grace of God so as to obtain “the abundant life” (see Jn 10:10). (YOUCAT questions 305-306)
