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.

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.

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.”
