Virtues in Practice Monthly Awards

A virtue is a good habit. The word virtue comes from the Latin “virtus,” which means “strength.” Christ gives us the graces to enable us to overcome our weaknesses and develop strength, or virtue. People who are virtuous enjoy the freedom of being their best selves and growing closer to God.
