"Christian virtue is a question not so much of doing as of being. When you hear it said of someone "He's a different man since he fell in love" you have a clue what must happen to the Christian. As you are, so you will act: love affects one's being, and therefore, in consequence, one's behavior--even though you do the same things you will do them differently--and it is when you can say "I live, now not I" that you can go on to say "I can do all things"; and you can say the latter because you add, with the docility of a child, "in Him who strengtheneth me."
--Rev. Gerald Vann in The Divine Pity: A Study in the Social Implications of the Beatitudes
