Grow in Virtue: 
There’s a common saying “virtue lies in the middle” meaning that a virtuous life is balanced in all areas. While all the virtues help us to stay centered, the virtues related to temperance aid us in a particular way. This week we will be focusing on the virtue of moderation. Moderation is the attention to balance in your life; that is, to not be excessive on either side of the spectrum and to set healthy limits for yourself. St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians says…

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful (1 Corinthians 6:12).

When you find yourself in the mood to spend another hour passively watching Netflix or playing games, find something else that can uplift and inspire you.
