In the vast field of life, virtues are divine seeds that God has planted in the heart of every woman. However, their growth and flourishing depend on our dedication and effort. Just as a gardener tends his plants, it is up to us to cultivate our virtues until they reach their maximum splendor. In this journey of self-discovery and spiritual development, there are essential steps we can take.
The quest for spiritual excellence begins by recognizing the gifts with which God has blessed us. Often, in the midst of the demands and challenges of daily life, we forget the virtues that reside within our being. Spiritual discernment enables us to identify these inner treasures. Through prayer and reflection, we can discover our unique strengths and talents. Learning to see in ourselves what God sees in us is a fundamental step toward expanding our virtues.
