Virtue of the Week- TEMPERANCE
The virtue of Temperance, or Moderation, is the strength that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods.
From The Catechism of the Catholic Church #1809 Temperance … ensures the will's mastery over instincts and keeps desires within the limits of what is honorable.
“To live well is nothing other than to love God with all one's heart, with all one's soul and with all one's efforts; from this it comes about that love is kept whole and uncorrupted (through temperance).”
-St. Augustine Bishop, Father and Doctor of the Church
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, when You were tempted in the desert by the devil You gave us a great example of TEMPERANCE. You had the strength to control the desire for pleasure. We need Your help to do the same. Grant us the desire to embrace the virtue of TEMPERANCE and when we experience temptation or weakness may we always reach out to you for help.
