Answer:
Universal mortification which struck me most.
- Virtue ethics is person rather than action based: It looks at the virtue or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than at ethical duties and rules, or the consequences of particular actions.
- Virtue ethics not only deals with the rightness or wrongness of individual actions, it provides guidance as to the sort of characteristics and behaviours a good person will seek to achieve.
- In that way, virtue ethics is concerned with the whole of a person's life, rather than particular episodes or actions.
- A good person is someone who lives virtuously - who possesses and lives the virtues.
Answer:
We are called to pattern our lives after that of Jesus Christ. When this seems daunting, it’s helpful to turn to the example of fellow human beings who imitated Him well: the saints.
Ultimately, however, no one has imitated Jesus better than His own Mother. Mary, Mother of God and Mother of Souls, has been given to us as an example which we can strive to imitate. When we draw near to her, she leads us to her Son.
In his classic work True Devotion to the Mary, St. Louis de Montfort lists the “ten principal virtues of the most Holy Virgin Mary.”
They are:
Profound humility.
Lively faith.
Blind obedience.
Continual prayer.
Universal mortification.
Divine purity.
Ardent charity.
Heroic patience.
Angelic sweetness.
Divine wisdom.
