Happy Holy Week!



Hello Ladies!
                I hope your Lent has gone well and as we kick off Holy week, I just wanted to encourage you all to keep growing in virtue! The past few weeks we have looked at prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice.  These cardinal virtues lead to all other virtues and assist us in growing in love for God and for others. During this holy week, I think it would be a great idea to focus on all four of these virtues in order to help prepare our hearts to enter into the paschal mystery so we may celebrate the Resurrected Christ during Easter!
 A great way to see the cardinal virtues in action is by looking at the lives of the saints! Tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 9pm in the Assissi Heights Community Lounge we will be showing an episode of Father Robert Barron’s Catholicism Series called the Communion of Saints. The video looks at these virtues in connection with St Edith Stein, Blessed Mother Teresa, St Katharine Drexel, and St Therese Lisieux.  Hope to see you there!
-Holly
