When We Don’t Feel Like It!!!

The theological virtues are practiced essentially by the will.  When they are accompanied by feeling, the practice of them is pleasant and consoling; but when the act must be made by the will alone, then this exercise is dry and cold, but is not for this reason of less merit; on the contrary, it is even more meritorious and therefore gives more glory to God.

-Divine Intimacy, Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, p. 742
