The virtues are practiced and acquired through practice, becoming habits that reinforce further virtuous behavior and cleanse the character of habits that constitute "vices." Together they lead to a firm and stable habit of choosing well in which one’s choices are guided by reason and one’s emotions and appetites are consistently inclined toward the good.
The pursuit of virtue is a human response to that love, and a way to open ourselves to the action of grace - to live a life of holiness, no matter where we are.

One of Kennedy's goals is to demonstrate that the virtues required of the much-maligned church official -- patience, politics, evenhandedness and respect for authority, for institutions and their rules -- can be those of a saint as well.

 Cardinal Virtues, Sojourners Magazine/July-August 1998
In an age when ecclesial leaders face so many doubts and challenges, Cardinal Bernardin opened hearts and minds by the way he lived and died, served and led.
