Characteristics of Christian Virtues


Nov. 13
Always keep the eyes of the mind, as a prototype and model modesty of the divine Master; modesty of Jesus Christ that the apostle, in the words to the Corinthians, placed flush with meekness, which was one of his most cherished virtues and nearly his characteristic virtue: "I, Paul, I urge you by the meekness and modesty Christ "; and, in the light of such a perfect model reform all your external actions, which is the faithful mirror that shows your inner inclinations.
Never forget, oh Anita, this divine model; Imagine you contemplate some kind majesty in his presence; certain pleasant authority in his speech; some nice composure in his walk, in his look, in speech, in his talk; certain sweet serenity in the face; Imagine the face of that face so calm and so sweet with attracting to itself the crowds, the pulled out of the cities and villages, taking them to the mountains, the forests, lonely places, deserted beaches and the sea, forgetting even eating, drinking and domestic obligations.
Yes, let us try to copy us, as we possibly can, such modest actions as decorous; and let us, as it is possible, like Him in time, to be then more perfect and more like Him for eternity in the heavenly Jerusalem.

Characteristics of Christian Virtues

Sometimes life and society are leading us down paths that we have yet to go against our own will. Standards or learned patterns of behavior do we go forging a personality that at least abroad, we bring up a certain way to others. The person to be a mimetic being essentially turns to learning and data recording everything learned to implement mind back to the rules of conduct that must be. Similarly a person who discovers true Christian, that is identified with Jesus Christ and follower of Jesus Christ is one that never forgets and never under any circumstances is a reflection of God's love. That is, the projection of Jesus Christ himself. This can only be achieved by learning the virtues of the Divine Master. That is, knowing him, watching him, listening, obeying and serving him always at his feet. This will make the true disciple go changing, go cristificando, ie go saturating the presence of God in one's life, being filled with the grace of God is always present and active so that in this way anywhere where a Christian will find the attitudes of Jesus Christ to manifest.
It is necessary, therefore, to notice the lofty dignity that every Christians possess. This dignity must be characterized by discretion, shape behavior, generosity and how to talk to others, and above all and above all how to love and serve our brothers.
