“Cardinal” Virtue - Temperance
September 15-19

Temperance is forming strong character by  exercising self-discipline.  Luke 9:21-25

“A man who perseveres in doing just actions gets in the end a certain quality of character.  Now it is that quality rather than the particular actions which we mean when we talk of “virtue.”  We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.”  - C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, p. 77
