Augustine on Doing Your Duty vs. Loving It

Even after his duty and his proper aim shall begin to become known to him, unless a man also take delight in and feel a love for it, he neither does his duty, nor sets about it, nor lives rightly. Now, in order that such a course may engage our affections, God’s love is shed abroad in our hearts.

— Saint Augustine of Hippo in The Spirit and the Letter
