2 BUILDING VIRTUES FOR LENT There s a Latin phrase used in the Lenten Season: sub specie aeternitatis which means under the light of eternity. This phrase reminds Christians of always keeping the long view as guide for our actions and circumstances in the present. How will my present situation look in the context of death and eternity? How will this cross, problem, sin, temptation, or present situation look at the moment when I stand before the Lord at my Judgment? Depending on our daily habits and due to the busyness of life, it s quite common to lose this eternal perspective and the seriousness our life. We hear frequently in the gospels, Christ s encouragement to his disciples to stay awake and keep watch. Lent is a season to remind ourselves of this perspective and our final end- union with God for all eternity- and on the means to that end- conformity to the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. This conformity to the life of Christ demands a conversion of life- a repentance - a more intentional and sustained effort at focusing on the areas of our soul and personal lives,where sin has become a habit. It demands fortitude. Just as any professional has spring training to get athletes back into shape by rooting out bad habits and cultivating good habits (exercise and diet), so too Lent is a season of spiritual training to work on the fundamentals of the spiritual life (prayer, fasting, almsgiving). Also, we need to work on our character by a closer look at the virtues (good habits) and we need to cultivate the vices (bad habits), which we need to root out. Virtues are important because they are the aim of the moral life (the pillars of good character) and they lead to human flourishing (our happiness). They are also the call of Christ to us: Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is Perfect. For example, young people ask what kind of character is needed to have a happy marriage? What elements of a good character will lead to greater chance of happiness? The cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude are the foundation. For example: Temperance (self-control) is necessary in order to stay faithful to one s spouse. Fortitude (courage/guts) is needed in order to face the challenges, setbacks, losses together and to persevere. Justice orients a husband and wife towards caring for the other s needs and those of their children. Prudence (good-decision making) is also needed in work, financial problems, and raising children to have good character themselves. The virtues are good habits (repeated choices) which perfect the powers of the soul (intellect/will) and bodily passions (emotions/feelings). There are virtues which perfect your intellect s ability to reason wisely - to make proper judgments in light of your final end. There are virtues which help you to be more self-controlled with the emotion of anger and tempering the excessive desire for food and drink. We need fortitude/courage to persevere in doing what s good when it s difficult and just (giving your neighbor their proper due). There are also virtues that specifically apply to your relationship with God, hence the reason they are called theological virtues (Faith, Hope, Charity). In the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus one of the titles invoke says: Heart of Jesus, abyss of all virtues. In contemplating Christ s Passion during this Lent, we see the greatest display and example of all the virtues which we should aspire after and pray to cultivate. Hence the need for more prayer and meditation to ask the Lord for the grace to imitate the virtues of his Sacred Heart. It s important to remember that virtues are cultivated by our repeated choices until they become second nature. It s also wise to have someone or something to keep you accountable (coach, priest, friend) because ridding one of old habits and creating new ones is hard. Frequent sacramental confession can also be a great source of grace to conquer bad habits and sins. During the next six weeks we are going to focus on the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues. We ll give an explanation in the bulletin and a virtue card describing the nature of the virtue and then practical tips at how to grow in this virtue. We ll also provide links, books or articles to help you further explore the topics if you want to learn more, which we encourage you to do. May God bless your Lent, Scott Johnson Director of Evangelization

5 First Sunday of Lent Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, and then the devil tested him. Moses and the Israelites had been in the desert for forty years before being led to the land of milk and honey. There were times when they called out to God, sure that, as Saint Paul wrote to the Romans, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. We sometimes spend time in the desert as well. Not a literal desert most of the time, but a desert in which it seems difficult to perceive Gods presence, times when we face difficulty and are tempted to leave Gods ways behind. On this First Sunday of Lent, Jesus shows us what to do in these moments: stand firm and trust in God. 40 Days for Life The Lenten Campaign begins on March 6th and ends on April 13th. We pray that with God s help, this will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our state ~ and beyond. The mission of this campaign is to bring together the Body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting and peaceful activities, as we seek God s favor in turning hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life. St. Thomas More Church is open during the week. Come and join us for the 9AM Mass or make a visit.
