Faith is not a merely intellectual, or merely volitional, or merely emotional activity—it is all of these things together. It is an act of the whole self, of the whole person in his concentrated unity. The Bible describes faith in this sense as an act of the ‘heart’ (Rom 10:9).

—Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

from his book Gospel, Catechesis, Catechism
