Virture

Highlights from: "Let Virtue Garnish Your Thoughts," By Bishop H. David Burton

Virtuous traits form the foundation of a Christian life and are the outward manifestation of the inner man.

Teaching virtuous traits begins in the home with parents who care and set the example.

By remaining steadfast, parents so very often suffer and agonize more than the children they endeavor to teach.

It is difficult for a person to display virtuous traits if he or she lacks integrity. Without integrity, honesty is often forgotten. If integrity is absent, civility is impaired. If integrity is not important, spirituality is difficult to maintain.

Traits of virtue broadly practiced can loosen Satan’s firm grip on society and derail his insidious plan to capture the hearts, minds, and spirits of mortal men.
