Beloved VirtueVirtue is the Need of All Mankind

Be the Flaming Fire of VirtueMarch 22, 2006

“I am Virtue, for I hold for the Earth itself and for every life stream upon Earth the

flame of virtue.

Mankind has lost the sense of virtue.

Therefore, I come in response, for you see, when you invoke each virtue and quality of God, there is an angel and a

deva who comes to your aid whose prime directive is to focus the light of that virtue

for you and for all.”

Page 5: Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women … · 2017-01-27 · Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

Therefore, o mankind, rise in virtue.

We will come when each day you take time to meditate upon these divine qualities, beloved ones. For you see, many

angels are simply waiting for you to say the word that is the expression of his or her particular nuance of the little virtue

that he carries for you.”

“The intensity of love in all of its manifestations poured forth through the

hearts of sons and daughters of God is

what we seek to amplify through all Hearts

Centers worldwide.

Page 6: Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women … · 2017-01-27 · Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

“And with a twinkle in our eyes, when that word is given forth, a tear of joy does descend; for we see that once again some among mankind understand why we were created by

the Godhead and why we so love to work with you, beloved ones.

Call to us. Pray to us. For virtue is the need of all mankind.”

The Blossoming of Your Soul Is EssentialOur Collective Purpose May Be Fulfilled as Each One Blossoms

November 21, 2010

“Yes, the blossoming of your soul is essential. For as each one opens up to the eternal verities of light, the great garden of the

Lord is felt and known, and the virtues of each one’s radiance are spread across the ethers.

Imagine with me thousands enlightened, bringing forth rays of the Spirit, sending them forth to every hamlet and home in every

community and how this will be the catalyst for a new golden age, [which] each and every one of you has envisioned and has set forth the seal of your intent upon through your life lived to the glory of

God.”

Beloved Lady KristineThe Amazing Grace of God’s Virtues

Every Virtue Is Available to You within the Eternal Now of Your PresenceJanuary 30, 2011

“Every virtue and grace is a gift of God. Virtues are like springs of light [by which] you may drink in God’s Presence. Virtues are the colors that

flow from God’s heart as offerings of his Spirit, bestowals of his blessings, his highest intentions for you to be God in Self-realization.

When you are in harmony with yourself, you can feel these virtues emanating through your being, expressive of your beauty, your grace,

your beingness. The wonders of creation are seen and felt as these rivers of light flowing through you.”

Why study virtue and character? Source: www.virtuescience.com/character.html,

author: John Barton, Warwickshire, England

“It is a principle of life that the more we study a subject the greater our knowledge and control of it grows.

All your thoughts, speech and actions arise from the quality of your personality.

Understanding and reclaiming natural Virtue is at the heart of genuine self-improvement.”

Page 17: Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women … · 2017-01-27 · Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

“As your love and acceptance increases for the forgotten aspects of your Character, they will re-integrate with you and again become available for your use.

Dedicate a notebook to your study of the virtues. Write a list of as many virtues as you can and explore how they are related to each other. You may be surprised to discover a universal pattern in them.

Keep a record of the questions you have about the virtues and the insights that you gain from exploring those questions.”

“By focusing your attention on positive qualities, you will be raising up your outlook on life and you will find that your Character also raises up to greater levels of harmony.

Examine your personality as if for the first time, try and look into deeper layers of yourself. The Light of your attention will illuminate and bring to the surface many hidden treasures from within your nature.”

List of Personal StrengthsSource: www.meaningandhappiness.com

The material on this site is based on the research of Martin Seligman, past president of the American Psychological Associationand founder of the modern positive psychology movement, and Christopher Peterson, professor at the University of Michigan.

Q. “What qualifies as a personal character strength, and how do you know if one is really yours?”

A. “I believe that people possess signature strengths. These are strengths of character that a person owns, celebrates, and frequently exercises.”

Page 21: Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women … · 2017-01-27 · Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

“Possible criteria for signature strengths"

• “a sense of ownership and authenticity ("this is the real me") vis-a-vis the strength

• a feeling of excitement while displaying it, particularly at first

• a rapid learning curve as themes are attached to the strength and practiced

• continuous learning of new ways to enact the strength

• a sense of yearning to act in accordance with the strength”

“Possible criteria for signature strengths"

• “a feeling of inevitability in using the strength, as if one cannot be stopped or dissuaded from its display

• the discovery of the strength as owned in an epiphany

• invigoration rather than exhaustion when using the strength

• the creation and pursuit of fundamental projects that revolve around the strength”

How do we develop and practice virtues?http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/ethicsandvirtue.html

Ethics and Virtue by Manuel Velasquez, Claire Andre, Thomas Shanks, S.J., and Michael J. Meyer, Santa Clara University, Markula Center for Applied Ethics

“ How does a person develop virtues? Virtues are developed through learning and through practice.

Virtues are habits. That is, once they are acquired, they become characteristic of a person.

Just as the ability to run a marathon develops through much training and practice, so too does our capacity to be fair, to be courageous, or to be compassionate.”

Page 25: Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women … · 2017-01-27 · Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

How do we develop and practice virtues?http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/ethicsandvirtue.html

“A person who has developed virtues will be naturally disposed to act (and feel and speak?) in ways that are consistent with those principles.

At the heart of the virtue approach to ethics is the idea of "community". A person's character traits are not developed in isolation, but within and by the communities to which he or she belongs, including family, church, school, and other private and public associations.”

Page 26: Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women … · 2017-01-27 · Hail, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

How do we develop and practice virtues?http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/ethicsandvirtue.html

“As people grow and mature, their personalities are deeply affected by the values that their communities prize, by the personality traits that their communities encourage, and by the role models that their communities put forth for imitation.

The virtue approach urges us to pay attention to the contours of our communities and the habits of character they encourage and instill.

The moral life, then, is not simply a matter of following moral rules and of learning to apply them to specific situations. The moral life is also a matter of trying to determine the kind of people we should be and of attending to the development of character within our communities and ourselves.”
