2022 Reprint of the 1940 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this title Archbishop Sheen provides a collection of his sermons on the subject of the seven virtues. He encourages the reader to practice and reflect on each. These are the three theological virtues of faith, hope and charity as well as the four cardinal virtues of prudence, temperance, justice, and fortitude.
Sheen draws the reader's attention to the connection between these seven virtues and the Seven Last Words spoken by Jesus from the Cross. He correlates Jesus' last seven words to the seven virtues.
