LIVING THE VIRTUES

Ultimately, as with life in general, we are called to live out the four cardinal virtues:

Prudence - Carefully discern the best course of action, not just for ourselves, but for the good of all.  Ask:  What action does God want me to take?

Justice - Seek fairness for everyone, especially those who need it most.  Ask:  Who is not getting the help that they need?

Temperance - Find a healthy balance between self care and care for others.  Ask:  do I err toward selfishness or an un healthy co-dependence?

Fortitude - Persevere in times of trial and difficulty.  Ask:  Do I have the courage to do the right thing even when the going gets tough?

Let us continue praying for a swift end to this pandemic and that we all may come through it safely.
