The Infused Virtues Are the Source of All Virtue

God's exemplar virtues are the source of all virtue, says St Thomas. We need acquired virtue in order to go on being creatures that God made for the sake of redeeming some by grace and insofar as it lies in us to prepare ourselves for grace which is to say not without the working of grace already. By the infused moral virtues we have the power to offer up that work abandon that work either as a matter of a life's location or daily interiorly in the laistate.
