In this ‘school of living,' Holy Mother Church teaches her children how to celebrate. In it, one learns how to turn family days such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, weddings and even funerals into feasts celebrated in the Lord.” - Maria von Trapp, Around the Year with the von Trapp Family Second quote from the von Trapp book referenced is too big and surpasses character limit.

Every week we rotate the themes of virtue -> knowledge -> self control -> endurance -> devotion -> mutual affection -> love. This is inspired by 2 Peter 1: 5-8 This is our first ENDURANCE themed episode! Our TGB Picks of the week: Eula - Personal prayer time Kristine - Tradition Latin wedding mass Quotes referenced: Finally, our battle has to confront what we experience as failure in prayer: discouragement during periods of dryness; sadness that, because we have "great possessions," we have not given all to the Lord; disappointment over not being heard according to our own will; wounded pride, stiffened by the indignity that is ours as sinners; our resistance to the idea that prayer is a free and unmerited gift; and so forth. The conclusion is always the same: what good does it do to pray? To overcome these obstacles, we must battle to gain humility, trust, and perseverance. - 2728 CCC "Pray constantly . . . always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father." St. Paul adds, "Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance making supplication for all the saints." For "we have not been commanded to work, to keep watch and to fast constantly, but it has been laid down that we are to pray without ceasing.” This tireless fervor can come only from love. Against our dullness and laziness, the battle of prayer is that of humble, trusting, and persevering love. This love opens our hearts to three enlightening and life-giving facts of faith about prayer. 2742 CCC "For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. If these are yours and increase in abundance, they will keep you from being idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 2 Peter 1:5-8 "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." - Philippians 4:8 Link's mentioned: Lata's Catholic home!

*Kristine accidentally says that the "right reason in action" quote was said by Augustine. HOWEVER, it was actually St Thomas Aquinas who states this following Aristotle* Each week we rotate the themes of virtue -> knowledge -> self control -> endurance -> devotion -> mutual affection -> love. This is inspired by 2 Peter 1: 5-8 This is our first self control themed episode! Our TGB Picks of the week: Eula: Time budgeting Kristine: Christmas shopping Quotes referenced: "To live well is nothing other than to love God with all one's heart, with all one's soul and with all one's efforts; from this it comes about that love is kept whole and uncorrupted (through temperance). No misfortune can disturb it (and this is fortitude). It obeys only [God] (and this is justice), and is careful in discerning things, so as not to be surprised by deceit or trickery (and this is prudence)." - St Augustine "Prudence is the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it; 'the prudent man looks where he is going.' 'Keep sane and sober for your prayers.' Prudence is 'right reason in action,' writes St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle. It is not to be confused with timidity or fear, nor with duplicity or dissimulation. It is called auriga virtutum (the charioteer of the virtues); it guides the other virtues by setting rule and measure. It is prudence that immediately guides the judgment of conscience. The prudent man determines and directs his conduct in accordance with this judgment. With the help of this virtue we apply moral principles to particular cases without error and overcome doubts about the good to achieve and the evil to avoid." - 1806 Catechism of the Catholic Church "Self-mastery is a long and exacting work. One can never consider it acquired once and for all. It presupposes renewed effort at all stages of life. The effort required can be more intense in certain periods, such as when the personality is being formed during childhood and adolescence." 2342 Catechism of the Catholic Church "For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. If these are yours and increase in abundance, they will keep you from being idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 2 Peter 1:5-8 "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." - Philippians 4:8 Random, self control related, link: https://fightthenewdrug.org/ Our Instagram: @TGBDiaries https://www.instagram.com/tgbdiaries/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
