Three Days with Virtues

The topic of Virtues was brought up by our Pastor recently, and I thought it would be a good exercise for us to practice one each week..... and would perhaps bring some discussion to the group.  I hope to see your comments on these Virtues......join in. 

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.

Our first Virtue this week will be Love/Charity

Day 1

Galatians 5:22-23   But he fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

CC1766 “To love is to will the good of another.” All other affections have their source in this first movement of the human heart toward the good.

How can you live this out today......or tell us about another way that you live out the Virtue of Love/Charity.
