“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (who seek virtue), for they shall be filled.”

Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (who seek virtue), for they shall be filled.” We know that Jesus wouldn’t make such a promise and not fulfill it. But what does ‘virtuous’ mean and how do we become so? Few are familiar with the seven heavenly virtues that serve as counterparts to the seven deadly sins. It’s important to know about these virtues, or good habits, so you can answer the call to personal holiness…The seven heavenly virtues are humility, liberality, chastity, meekness, temperance, brotherly love, and diligence.
