The Apostle Paul has given an incomparable depiction of charity: "charity is patient and kind, charity is not jealous nor boastful; it is not arrogant nor rude. Charity does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Charity bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Charity is superior to all of the virtues. It is the first of the theological virtues: "So, faith, hope, charity abide, these three; but, the greatest is charity". Charity upholds and purifies our human ability to love and raises it to the supernatural perfection of divine love.
By faith, we believe in God and believe all that he has revealed to us.
By hope, we desire, and with steadfast trust await from God, eternal life and the graces to merit it.
By charity, we love God above all things and our neighbor as our ourselves for the love of God.
Charity, the form of all the virtues, "binds everything together in perfect harmony and love"
