"There are four forms of wisdom, first moral judgment, or the knowledge of
what should and should not be done, combined with watchfulness of the
intellect; second, self-restraint, whereby our moral purpose is safeguarded
and kept free from all acts, thoughts and words that do not accord with
God; third, courage, or strength and endurance in sufferings, trials and
temptations encountered on the spiritual path; and fourth, justice, which
consists in maintaining a proper balance between the first three. These
four general virtues arise from the three powers of the soul in the
following mannerfrom the intelligence, or intellect, come moral judgment
and justice, or discrimination; from the desiring power comes
self-restraint; and from the power comes courage."
St. Peter of Damaskos.
"I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to
keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live
and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go
to possess." Deuteronomy 30:16
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
