Day 1 & 2

Virtue: A habit of doing what is good. We build virtues through our own efforts and with God’s grace. (1833)
Cardinal Virtues: Virtues acquired by human effort. They are the key moral virtues which all other moral virtues are grouped around. They are the fruit and seed of morally good acts and help prepare the powers of human beings for communion with God’s love. They are prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. (1834, 1839)
Four Loves: Four different expressions or forms of love using the Greek classification. They are: storge (the love of affection or enjoying someone or something), philia (the love between friends), eros (romantic or passionate love), agape (charity, or unconditional, sacrificial love; the highest form of love; the love of God for man).
