The Virtue of Virtue

Fr. Jacob Bertrand: "The continent person does the good act but there's a struggle there to do the good thing" He says when we're living the fullness of the virtue, we act joyfully, promptly and easily. The hope is not that you always have to exhibit or muster the strength of somehow kind of like herculean effort to do thegood, he says. But rather find it easy, less agonizing, less anguished and in turn delightful to do theGood. 'That's sort of the foretaste of what awaits us in heaven'
