Božje ali podarjene kreposti so tri:
vera,
upanje
in
ljubezen.
So poseben Božji dar,
ki smo ga poleg posvečujoče milosti in darov Svetega Duha prejeli pri svetem krstu.
Nanašajo se neposredno na Boga.
Sv.Pavel jih večkrat omenja.
Tako nas spodbuja:
“Oblecimo si oklep
vere in ljubezni,
za čelado pa upanje odrešenja. (1 Tes 5,81 Tes 5,8

8 But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

1 Kor 3,18-231 Kor 3,18-23
English: World English Bible - WEB
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

18 Nihče naj se ne vara! Če kdo izmed vas misli, da je moder v tem svetu, naj postane nor, da postane moder, 19 kajti modrost tega sveta je pri Bogu norost. Zapisano je namreč:
Modre ujame v njihovi prekanjenosti,
20 in spet:
Gospod pozna misli modrih;
ve, da so prazne.
21 Zato naj se nihče ne ponaša z ljudmi! Vse je namreč vaše: 22 Pavel, Apolo, Kefa, svet, življenje in smrt, sedanjost in prihodnost. Vse je vaše, 23 vi Kristusovi, Kristus pa Božji.

PSALM 24 (23)
Vhod v svetišče
1 Davidov psalm.
GOSPODOVA je zemlja in kar jo napolnjuje,
zemeljski krog in njegovi prebivalci.
2 Zakaj on jo je osnoval na morjih,
on jo je utrdil na veletokih.
3 Kdo se sme povzpeti na GOSPODOVO goro,
kdo sme stati na njegovem svetem kraju?
4 Tisti, ki je nedolžnih rok in čistega srca,
ki svoje duše ne vzdiguje k praznim rečem
in ne prisega na prevaro.
5 Prejel bo blagoslov od GOSPODA,
pravičnost od Boga svoje rešitve.
6 To je rod tistih, ki po njem povprašujejo,
ki iščejo tvoje obličje, Jakob.
Sela.

Evangelij po Luku
Lk 5,1-11Lk 5,1-11
English: World English Bible - WEB
5
1 Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

Molim pa tole:
naj vaša ljubezen
čedalje bolj napreduje
v spoznavanju
in v vsakršnem zaznavanju.
11.
Prehod od spreobrnjenja k poslanstvu se v prvi vrsti pokaže z dejstvom, da preidem z ene strani mreže v spovednici na drugo stran, s strani penitenta na stran spovednika.
Izguba zakramenta sprave je korenina mnogih oblik zla
v življenju Cerkve in v življenju duhovnika.
In tako imenovana kriza zakramenta sprave ne izhaja samo iz dejstva,
da ljudje ne prihajajo več k spovedi, ampak tudi iz dejstva,
da duhovniki nismo več prisotni v spovednicah.
Spovednica v kateri je navzoč duhovnik, v prazni cerkvi, je izredno nagovarjajoče
znamenje potrpljenja Boga, ki čaka.
Takšen je Bog. On nas čaka vse življenje.
V mojih petintridesetih letih škofovanja sem poznal pretresljive primere duhovnikov,
ki so vsakodnevno bili prisotni v spovednici,
ne da bi prišel en sam spovedanec;
dokler se nato nekega dne po mesecih ali letih čakanja
ni pojavil prvi ali prva spovedanka.
Na ta način se je tako rekoč deblokirala situacija.
Od tega trenutka naprej je spovednica postala zelo obiskovana.
V takšnem primeru je duhovnik poklican, da postavi na stran vsa zunanja dela načrtovanega skupinskega dela, da se lahko posveti osebnim potrebam vsakega posameznika. In pri takem primeru ni primarno, da govori, ampak da posluša.
Gnojna rana na telesu lahko ozdravi samo, če lahko krvavi do konca.
Ranjeno človekovo srce lahko ozdravi samo, če je kdo, ki posluša,
in to v absolutni diskretnosti zakramenta sprave.
Za spovednika je pred vsem drugim najpomembnejše, da posluša, ne da govori. Koliko notranjih impulzov izkusi in sprejme duhovnik prav v obhajanju zakramenta sprave, ki mu pomagajo prav pri njegovem osebnem sledenju Kristusu. Tam lahko vedno znova sliši in ugotavlja, kako so daleč pred njim v sledenju Kristusu 
preprosti verniki, možje, žene in otroci.
Zapiski, dr. Marjan Turnšek
Vaja dela mojstra!
S ponavljanjem dobrih dejanj se utrjujemo v krepostih,
posebej v kreposti ljubezni.
“Ni tako zle nravi,
ki ne bi s krepostnimi dejanji
mogla postati krepostna.
Torej pogum!
Če se urimo,
bomo postali svetovni prvaki
v ljubezni do Boga.
