II. The Theological Virtues
1826
“If I . . . have not charity,” says the Apostle, “I am
nothing.” Whatever my privilege, service, or even virtue, “if I . . .
have not charity, I gain nothing.”103 Charity is superior to all
the virtues. It is the first of the theological virtues: “So faith, hope,
charity abide, these three. But the greatest of these is charity.”104
