Excellent teaching, which aids in augmenting the tenets of our Catholic faith. Thank you, Father Guilbeau. Pax Christi.

[@ThomisticInstitute]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@kristindreko1998]

Thank you Aquinas 101, may God bless you!

[@markmenotti203]

Excellent lecture, Father Guilbeau

[@edinnm8212]

Thank you, Fr. Aquinas. Excellent video! I'm a cradle Catholic who is learning so much more about our Catholic faith from these TI videos. God Bless you all!

[@erickayanong802]

Very informative. Thank you for this video!

[@ulyssespalomares]

What an enlightening video! Thank you so much for this.

[@justinefernandez2253]

Thank you for this.

The element that the virtues have in common is the will. If it is exercised in any of the three virtues shown, it will already be exercised for any of the other virtues. It's like a muscle, whether you train it in the gym or use it at work, it will be strengthened to use either one or the other.

[@ma.teresitavillar3010]

Very enlightening! Thank you Father and Aquinas 101.

[@ThomisticInstitute]

You bet-thank you for watching! God bless.

Moral virtues shape character and guide actions. Courage, justice, compassion, honesty, and wisdom are key virtues. They encourage personal growth and ethical decision-making. Cultivating these virtues promotes a compassionate society. Late

[@peter_hobbs]

Thanks so much for your concise, insightful and well presented videos

[@reggiestickleback7794]

The Saints are drawn in such an epic manner nice illustrations haha

[@newnew1988]

I pictured a trident in my mind with the handle as prudence and the 3 tips as the rest of the virtues. The perfect virtues would be long tips and the imperfect ones as short tips. The stick or handle would be thin or solid accordingly. 🔱

[@MTHowards]

this is helpful - thank you very much. It would be interesting for those of us working in integral development to hear more about how the Moral and Theological Virtues inform or complement each other for the flourishing of a community/society and/or the for the common good.

[@CJP9694]

Thank you.

[@fredericobonaldo6948]

Congrats for this video, this is a pretty crucial existential issue, because it is the philosophical expression either of a whole good person or of a partly good one. Besides, I think it's quite important to say that a virtuous person can or sometimes really makes mistakes regarding every field of life, because he never achieves the fulness of any virtue, though he will do good deeds in a habitual basis due to the level of virtue he already have reached.

[@ThomisticInstitute]

Yes, that's right. We are all "on the way," seeking to be made whole in every respect. To be sure, the virtuous person makes fewer mistakes-but mistakes he makes nonetheless, and at times with respect to different virtues. Growing in the virtues, as Fr. Aquinas shows us, is a polyvalent exercise. It is a non-stop, lifelong activity, and it is often difficult! And so we give thanks to God all the more for his grace, which quickens our efforts from within by his sweet and mighty supernatural aid.

[@AndreVille]

Great videos. Thanks for producing them. My only critique/suggestion is that you should provide the references from the Summa underlying the teachings in each video. Or, at least, include them in the information below the video.

[@admg1340]

I was just thinking that too! It would be nice to have the reference

[@benhutchinson9808]

Excellent video, thanks!

[@ThomisticInstitute]

Thank you for watching. Blessed Lent!

[@fr.chrispietraszko1234]

Could you also speak to the connection between the speculative and practical virtues?

[@jurisprudens]

Thank You! What about the theological virtues? How are they related?

[@aaronargottelopez3488]

❤

[@bman5257]

His name is Fr. Aquinas?! He was born to be a Dominican.

[@volusian95]

Most likely his religious name taken on when he took his vocation hehe

[@ThomisticInstitute]

T. Wienckowski is correct! "Aquinas" is Father's religious name. A fitting name for a Dominican (and a Thomist), certainly!

[@peterswindeman1283]

Was that a Cobra Kai reference?

[@5fermin5]

who else is here bc of school?

[@justinefernandez2253]

Thank you for this.

[@billprorok8115]
