If we see virtue as simply the right way to live, no matter what the cost, then virtue is sacred. Virtue is the door into the sacred sanctuary because virtue is not a consumer product; it is not just a refuge from our anxieties nor a pause from a busy life; not something we can purchase in order to relieve the symptoms of modern life. Virtue is the recognition of the sacred in daily life.
Abbot Christopher Jamison
Finding Sanctuary, p. 27
