Every virtue receives life from love, and love is gained in love, that is, by raising up the eye of our mind to behold how much we are beloved of God. Seeing ourselves loved, we cannot do otherwise than love… So thou seest that we conceive virtues through God and bring them to birth for our neighbour.
Saint Catherine of Siena
