“Heroric goodness is a specific human quality (humility, patience, purity, love) that shows itself in actions that are (1) promptly, easily, joyfully done; (2) even in difficult circumstances; (3) habitually, not just occasionally; (4) present actually, not just potentially; (5) found mingled with all the virtues.” (Father Thomas Edward Dubay, S.M., 1921-2010, Authenticity, Chapter 1)
