Each of us can recognize that our human nature is wounded due to the effects of Original Sin because it is very difficult to maintain moral balance in our lives. We must combat, above all, selfishness and pride which results in our lack of perfect love for God and our neighbor. However, developing the virtues is not something that we simply accomplish through our own will power.
At the core of all virtue is love but actions are needed to express this love. No person, no matter how loving he claims to be, can be of any help to himself or anyone else on a moral level if he does not posses virtue. A soldier without courage, a doctor without care, a teacher without patience, a parent without prudence, a spouse without fidelity, a priest without faith, a leader without determination, a magistrate without integrity, and a friend without loyalty are all partners to futility, not because they lack love, but because they lack the virtue to express it.
