Paragraph:

1827 The practice of all the virtues is animated and inspired by charity, which "binds everything together in perfect harmony"; ¹⁰⁵ it is the form of the virtues; it articulates and orders them among themselves; it is the source and the goal of their Christian practice. Charity upholds and purifies our human ability to love, and raises it to the supernatural perfection of divine love.
