Growing in Christian Virtue through Prayer
Pick a Christian virtue to grow in your life.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your meditation.
Reflect 10 minutes or so on that virtue.
Read something about that virtue; perhaps from the Catechism or a quote from one of the Saints.
At the end of the day ask; “How did I live this virtue today?”
Act; make a decision to implement a way to live out that virtue.
Continue this pattern for several days before moving on to another virtue.
Day 2 on Virtue Love/Charity
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy hole heart, with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.” This is the commandment of the great God, and He cannot command the impossible. Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set.
Blessed Mother Teresa
CC1823 Jesus makes charity the New Commandment. By loving His own “to the end” He makes manifest the Father’s love which He receives. By loving one another, the disciples imitate the love of Jesus which they themselves receive. Whence Jesus says: “As the Father has love me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.” And again: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
