Meeting the Historical Jesus in Prayer. - The Seekers Guide to Seven Life-Changing Virtues
Loyola Press.
Helps us to see how the seven classic virtues are the keys to a deeper and richer spirituality. Stories of people who modelled these virtues inspire us to develop the faith of Dorothy Day or the fortitude of Maximilian Kolbe. The meaning of each virtue is explained using Scripture, the examples of the saints, and the interpretation of scholars. Once we understand these virtues, we can use them to build more satisfying relationships with God and with one another. - Professions of Faith: Living and Working as a Catholic
