	Justification by Faith Alone
		But a faith which produces acts of love is a faith which includes the virtue of charity, the virtue of charity is the thing that enables us to perform acts of supernatural love in the first place.
		Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit.
		Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and believe all that he has said and revealed to us.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Heroic Virtue
		Together with the four cardinal virtues the Christian saint must be endowed with the three theological virtues, especially with Divine charity, the virtue which informs, baptizes, and consecrates, as it were, all other virtues; which associates and unifies them into one powerful effort to participate in the Divine life.
		As charity stands at the summit of all virtues, so faith stands at their foundation.
		Thus the Divine mind itself is the type of prudence; God using all things to minister to His glory is the type of temperance, by which man subjects his lower appetites to reason; justice is typified by God's application of the eternal law to all His works; Divine immutability is the type of fortitude.

	virtues and vices, their origins and mutual relations
		Also, considering virtue by the fourth mode of investigation in terms of concordance there are four cardinal virtues, namely justice, prudence, fortitude and temperance which are opposed by injury, mindlessness, frailty (or inconstancy) and intemperance which are the chief mediators of gluttony, lust, conceit etc. and of deviation from faith, hope and charity.
		Another aspect of virtue's third mode of being: faith, hope and charity are theological virtues since they are infused into the soul by God and these are opposed by diffidence, despair and cruelty, which are the worst of all vices.
		Similarly, the cardinal virtues are concordant with the theological virtues so as to oppose the theological vices with this concordance because through the same opposition they also oppose their own direct contraries, namely the cardinal vices, and conversely.

	Virtue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Christianity, the theological virtues are faith, hope and charity or love/agape, a list which comes from 1 Corinthians 13:13.
		The thesis of the unity of the virtues is controversial - one might argue that humans can be courageous without being wise - but it is often defended, particularly in Plato's early dialogues, by the claim that all virtues are a single sort of knowledge, perhaps 'knowledge of good and evil'.
		The opposite of a virtue is a vice.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Love
		Although charity is at times intensely emotional, and frequently reacts on our sensory faculties, still it properly resides in the rational will a fact not to be forgotten by those who would make it an impossible virtue.
		The meaning is that the other virtues, while possessing a real value of their own, derive a fresh and greater excellence from their union with charity, which, reaching out directly to God, ordains all our virtuous actions to Him.
		Apart from the cases of the actual reception of baptism, penance, or extreme unction, wherein the love of charity by a special dispensation of God, admits of attrition as a substitute, all adults stand in need of it, according to 1 John, iii, 14: "He that loveth not, abideth in death".

	Virtue Ethics
		Others assume that, if this is not what they are doing, they cannot be validating their claims that, for example, justice, charity, courage, and generosity are virtues.
		Deontology and virtue ethics share the conflict problem (and are happy to take it on board rather than follow some of the utilitarians in their consequentialist resolutions of such dilemmas) and in fact their strategies for responding to it are parallel.
		Given that a virtue is such a multi-track disposition, it would obviously be reckless to attribute one to an agent on the basis of a single observed action or even a series of similar actions, especially if you don't know the agent's reasons for doing as she did.

	Virtue Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Medieval ethicists added to these the theological virtues which appear in the New Testament: faith, hope, and charity.
		Virtue theory places special emphasis on moral education since virtuous character traits are developed in one's youth; adults, therefore, are responsible for instilling virtues in the young.
		Virtue theory is the view that the foundation of morality is the development of good character traits, or virtues.

		It is the exercise of the virtues during one's life that is held to be at least partially constitutive of eudaimonia, and this is consistent with recognising that bad luck may land the virtuous agent in circumstances that require her to give up her life.

	Chapter Five
		The proper function of charity as the form of all the virtues is to direct and ordain the acts of all the virtues effectively to the ultimate supernatural end, even those of faith and hope.
		The acts of an infused supernatural virtue that are motivated by a charity that is weak and remiss have a meritorious value that is equally weak and remiss, however difficult the acts may be in themselves.
		Christian perfection consists formally and primarily in the perfection of charity; therefore, to speak of the grades of Christian perfection is to speak of the degrees of charity.

	Alasdair Macintyre
		Briefly, these virtues, as developed within Thomist thought were: courage, justice, temperance and wisdom (known as Cardinal Virtues) and Faith, Hope and Charity or self-giving love (the 'Theological Virtues').
		He suggested that it was the devaluation of the human virtues, and human teleology (the belief that humans have an ultimate purpose in life) which had done the mischief.
		MacIntyre is referring here to the way in which St Thomas Aquinas had 'baptised' Aristotelian virtues and the concept of the 'telos' of humanity for the Church, and the rejection of these concepts by philosophers from Hume onwards.

	Father John Scannell - Virtue is in The Middle
		The theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity have no golden mean as far as their object is concerned, since God, being infinite in truth, power, and goodness, cannot be believed in, hoped in, or loved too much.
		By reason of their subject, however, these virtues have a golden mean, since it is possible for one to exceed or show defect, as for example, in the virtue of hope where one may sin by presumption or despair.
		Thus far in speaking about the virtues, we have seen that if we are going to get out of the beginners' age in the spiritual life and make progress it is necessary to practice the virtues more ardently; and we have discussed the difference between the natural and the supernatural virtues.

	Saint John of Rila (876-946)
		THE PARENTS of blessed John were pious Bulgarians, born and raised in the village of Skrino, within the city limits of Sardica.* While they lived and worked with devotion and charity, two sons were born to them, one of them being John.
		With these, John eased his hunger while tears poured out like gushing springs to irrigate the furrows of his soul and the fruitful boughs of his virtue blossomed forth.
		Saint John did not rely on himself at all, but trusted in God "Who quickens the dead and orders those things which are not as though they were." Thus he said: "This work is not for me, my children, because God alone can chase away demons.

	The Eucharist:Source and Summit of Christian Spirituality
		We are united by faith, hope and charity with Christ in the Eucharist.
		But the Eucharist also fosters the virtue of faith insofar as it signifies the one faith of the Catholic Church.
		This faith is objectively grounded in the official proclamation of the Word of God in the Eucharistic liturgy, and celebrated in the Eucharistic Sacrifice offered by those in Holy Orders who, possessing apostolic succession, in communion with their bishop and the successor of Peter, legitimately exercise apostolic authority.

	MORAL PHILOSOPHY THROUGH THE AGES
		With the arrival of Christianity, the Apostle Paul endorsed the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, which were later dubbed the "theological virtues" in contrast to Plato’s four "cardinal virtues." Medieval theologians sometimes referred to the "seven virtues," combining the three theological virtues with the four cardinal virtues.
		Virtues are means between extremes; they are states of character; by their own nature they tend to the doing of acts by which they are produced; they are in our power and voluntary; they act as prescribed by right governance [i.e., practical wisdom].
		Virtues, then, are only the starting point; the next step is to create governing bodies, social classes, and the obligations of both rulers and citizens, all of which is rule-oriented.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Can charity be without faith and hope?
		Charity is the root of faith and hope, in so far as it gives them the perfection of virtue.
		Charity is not any kind of love of God, but that love of God, by which He is loved as the object of bliss, to which object we are directed by faith and hope.
		That this belongs to charity is evident from 1 Jn.

	"Joseph Andrews"
		Fielding admired honesty, integrity, simplicity, and charity, believed that virtue is seen in an individual's actions, but recognized the difficulty of making moral judgments.
		In the view of many readers, this novel equates "virtue" with virginity and the reward of virtue—or managing to stay a virgin—is marriage, and the focus on seduction/rape ignores the diversity of life and of human motivation.
		Won over by her virtue and genteel delicacy, he marries her even thought she is a mere servant.
