“Even when the will is perverse – even when a creature is enthralled and captivated by one great sinful adhesion, which makes one’s days a flight from God toward lust or power – even then some few good and commendable acts contradict one’s general attitude.  These isolated acts of virtue are like a clean handle on a dirty bucket; with them, God can lift a soul to His peace.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Lift Up Your Heart)
