VIRTUE
Wisdom of Solomon 4:2
When virtue is present, people imitate it,
And when it goes away, they long for it.
Throughout one’s lifetime,
Virtue leads the struggle for undefiled prizes,
Wearing a crown and conquering.
Personal Challenge
And here is the root of so much of the discord and difficulties that we see in our world, especially our country today. Virtue is no longer present in our society. So many of the elites, whether by wealth or power, have abandoned all concepts of virtue. That is part of what is driving so many of us to be exhausted and in despair. We are longing for a renewal of virtue. Only then will the prizes that we seek for ourselves and our nation be undefiled. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have Mercy! Lord, have mercy!
P. S. From a simple internet search…
In Christian tradition, the seven virtues are the four cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance) plus the three theological virtues (faith, hope, charity). The seven capital virtues (opposed to the seven deadly sins) are usually listed as chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, kindness, patience, and humility.
