Adding a Virtue

Adding a virtue for Lent is a noble task. Some might argue that adding a virtue despite maintaining a number of vices is futile work because the vices still hold you away from God. I think that that is a selfish view, however, and think that any good we can add to the world is worth while for the benefit of others.

Let's look at a couple of the main 'Christian Virtues.'

Faith is our acceptance of God's Will and our trust in salvation.

Hope is found in our salvation. We should never have a reason to despair because if we also have faith we will trust in our final victory and eternity with God.

Charity and Love is the loving kindness we need to show others. We can trust in our salvation, but others don't have that feeling of hope.
