Virtues

I am beginning a four week series this Thursday on the Four Cardinal Virtues. So I have been doing a little reading to get ready. It is good to read a little St. Thomas to clear away the cobwebs in the mind. When I read St. Thomas things make sense. When I get away from him I tend to rely on my feelings towards things, and you can't help but be influenced by the culture. The world tells us that many things are alright or even good for us when in fact they are bad for us. Or I begin to think according to my actions. I do something without thinking and then I cup with a reason for it. This is the reason conforming to the will. This is very bad and no way to approach the truth.
