Magnanimity
March 21, 2025
This week our strength building on the virtue of FORTITUDE is MAGNANIMITY.
The strength to have greatness of soul,performing noble deeds that are great in the eyes of God.
Each and every one of us are called by Almighty God to be holy. We are called to be saints. To reach such sublime heights, one can say that we are called to be great.
This greatness is what is referred to as the virtue of Magnanimity – which translates to ‘greatness of soul’. It cannot exist without humility as its guiding rod.
The vice is PULASINITY. The weakness to shy away from the gifts God
has given you, out of timidity. Littleness of soul.
MATTHEW 5: 38-42
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.
If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well.
Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles.
Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.”
“It is better to be alone with God. His friendship will not fail me, nor His counsel, nor His love.
In His strength I will dare and dare and dare until I die.”
- St. Joan of Arc
