The virtues that unite our soul to God are the three theo logical virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity.
Those virtues which have the effect of bringing our actions into conformity with the moral law, are called moral virtues. These we gain for ourselves by our own exertions and the assist ance of divine grace, after we have received sanctifying grace.
The principal moral virtues are the seven capital virtues: Humility, obedience, meekness, liberality, temperance, chastity, diligence in what is good.
All the moral virtues proceed from the four cardinal vir tues: Prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude (Wisd. viii. 7).
All perfect virtues spring from the love of God and are in separably united together by that same love (1 Cor, xiii.).
The greatest and noblest of all the virtues is charity.
The virtues can always be increased.
All perfect virtue is lost immediately upon falling into mortal sin, for thereby the love of God is lost, without which there can be no perfect virtue.
