St. Maximus the Confessor, Ascetic Life and Four Centuries on Charity on Ascetical Efforts

There are three things that move us to the good: natural tendencies, the holy Powers, good choice. The natural tendencies – as, for instance, when what we wish men would do for us, we likewise do for them; or, when we see someone in sore straits, we then naturally have pity. The holy Powers – as when moved to some fine deed, we experience their good assistance and prosper. Good choice – when, for example, discerning good from evil, we choose the good.
