Through the Year with St. Francis de Sales J U N E <<  |  >>  July 01       J U N E    30                                       There is a big difference between the absence of vice and the presence of a virtue.  Many people seem to be virtuous but do not actually possess a virtue because they have not had to fight to acquire it.  It often happens that our passions are dormant or are stifled, and if, throughout those times, we do not build good supply of fortitude to combat them, we will collapse when we are attacked.         (Spiritual Treatises, XVI)
