Grow in Virtue: Kindness
Ave Maria! Let's pray for the grace to imitate Mary's virtue of Angelic Kindness! Join us for short daily reflections and a Hail Mary in petition for this virtue.
Month #8: Angelic Kindness
October 25-November 24
"The opposite of kindness is rudeness. Just try to imagine the way and manner in which Mary must have treated her neighbor! A warm welcome, a kind and winning smile, courtesy to the maximum, and an attentive ear to listen are all clear manifestations of kindness, angelic kindness, in fact. Mary did all this to the highest degree! On this virtue, Saint Francis de Sales commented: 'One can attract more flies with a spoonful of honey than with a barrel full of vinegar.' In other words, kindness attracts others to Christ, while rude and drastic measures repel them. May Our Lady teach us what it means to be kind and may we put it into practice!" Fr. Ed Broom
Hello Friends! During this retreat, we will pray for the grace to grow in the virtue of kindness by reflecting on a small quote or bible verse. At the end of each reflection, we simply ask Our Lady to make us more like her by praying a Hail Mary for an increase in the virtue of kindness.
The quotes/images for this retreat run parallel to the 9-month Impossible Novena; however, the Impossible Novena Retreat contains the Impossible Novena prayer, rather than the prayer for a specific virtue. This means that you may join one, some, many, or even ALL of our retreats! We are here to meet you wherever you are in your prayer life and spiritual journey in a way that is simple yet meaningful.
Growing in virtue takes not only time and training, but tons of grace. Together, let's take baby steps to grow in holiness, so that we may find the path closest to Christ by following in the footsteps of Our Blessed Mother.
