Description

What kind of people do we need to be if we are to live up to the grace of our Baptism as children of God, able to call God, "Our Father?" Besides the theological virtues, the life of grace needs a wide range of character-forming dispositions.These dispositions are called the infused moral virtues, and their pillars or 'hinges' are the Christian cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, courage, and temperance. This booklet explores the meaning of these cardinal virtues, drawing on Scripture, the great works of Catholic theology, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and new research to explain and illustrate the ideas. It also includes practical ways to support the cardinal virtues, including discipleship, parables and stories, proverbs and maxims, memorisations, and a liturgical life.
