On faith energized by love


He who loves God both believes truly and performs the works of faith reverently.  But he who only believes and does not love, lacks even the faith he thinks he has; for he believes merely with a certain superficiality of intellect and is not energized by the full force of love’s glory.  The chief part of virtue, then, is faith energized by love.
