A virtue is the habit of doing good, making it both natural and delightful. A virtuous person is truly free. Christian virtues free us from being controlled by temptation and vice. While everyone is born with the capacity for virtue, education and practice are needed to grow into the freedom, harmony, and balance of a virtuous, excellent person.

God gives us the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity which transform our human nature to participate in the divine life and deepen our relationship with God. These virtues nurture and bring life to the four Cardinal virtues.
