St Justin Popovich: The virtues, however, are woven through with sorrow and afflictions...

The soul is made drunk by the passions but can recover its health if it will use the virtues as the path to sobriety. The virtues, however, are woven through with sorrow and afflictions. 

St. Isaac says that every virtue is a cross, and even that sorrows and afflictions are the source of the virtues.

St Justin Popovich
