Is religion considered a virtue? Broadly defined, virtue is directing our will and our power toward good. A virtue is a disposition that is habitual and they can be classified by type and purpose. The theological virtues, for instance, are faith, hope, and love. The virtue of religion is a phrase used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church in the discussion about the First Commandment, beginning in paragraph It explains how this virtue disposes us to give to God what we, as his creation, owe God as creator. God does not need anything from us, but in justice and love, we owe God something. God wants a relationship with us and willingly shares his life with all creation. Our inclination to seek God and give back something to God is the virtue of religion. The virtue of religion is expressed in adoration, prayer, and sacrifice. Adoration acknowledges God as creator and source of life. Prayer allows us to address God, offering praise, petition, and thanksgiving. Sacrifice allows us to offer something to God, a way in which we share something of ourselves in the same way that God shares life with us. These are the hallmarks of a spiritual life that will grow and develop as any good relationship does Liturgical Publications Inc Oehler Funeral Home THANK YOU 10 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Parish Community
