Hear now three things which constitute a good person. The first, which a good person must have, is a clean conscience without reproach of mortal sin…The second thing which pertains to a good person is that he must in all things be obedient to God, and to Holy Church, and to his own proper convictions… The third thing which behoves every good person is that in all his deeds he should have in mind, above all else, the glory of God… Behold, these three things, when they are possessed in this way, make one good.
–Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
