Character is… …what a person is in the dark

Our character is revealed through our virtues and vices. Virtue = habit of choosing good Vice = the opposite of virtue; bad habits TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES OF VIRTUES: Theological Cardinal

LOVE Theological Virtues FAITH HOPE Gifts from God that empower us to do good God-given .. Infused into our souls FAITH HOPE LOVE

Cardinal Virtues WHAT? Virtues that we can acquire by our own human efforts PURPOSE? Help us to choose good, and then follow the right course of action Also known as moral or human virtues because when we perform morally good acts, virtues become good habits that help us draw closer to God … … and to relate to other people with Christ-like love.

Reflect & Journal … List adjectives that I believe others would use to describe me. List adjectives that best describe the real ‘me’ … in the dark. What are some factors that cause me to make decisions I’m not proud of? Who is the person I believe to be of the most consistent character I know, and why? What gaps are there in my own character that prevent me from being that kind of person … ‘in the dark’?
