Summary/Abstract: There is a connection between God’s self-revelation and the revelation of the truths of faith. They remain mutually related (nexus mysteriorum) and arranged around the centre of the Christian faith (hierarchia veritatum). The article shows how the “hierarchy” of the truths of faith should contribute to a better understanding of all mysteries. While taking into account this hierarchy one must not marginalize other revealed truths of faith. The sense of faith (sensus fidei) helps to consider not only a net of mysteries as a whole but also particular mysteries of faith within it, as well as their correlation with Christ who is in the centre.
