I think they are all needed at all times. It is my experience that happy or Rich people ( this is not about money but the richness of life) have faith, hope and love with enough of each. Poor or sad people seem to lack one or more of faith, hope and love. Jesus taught us to love our neighbour, he also told us in the Good Samaritan that everyone is our neighbour. He told us that love is patient, kind and never stops. To live a life that does that like Jesus said we need faith that it will work and hope that our actions will be seen as love by those we try to help. I try my hardest to live such a life as I have faith that if we all did this that the world would be a safer and happier place full of faith, hope and love.
