The virtue for February is RESPECT - The strength to show honor and goodness toward others, recognizing their talents.

Catholic Social Teaching tells us that all persons are by virtue of being a creation in the likeness and image of God are worthy of respect.  

This also goes to the teachings of Jesus - Love God with your whole heart, mind and body and love your neighbor as yourself.

Dearest Lord Jesus, may we grow stronger in the virtue of RESPECT today and develop the habit of looking for ways to do good for others.

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Matthew 7:12

The opposing vice is DISDAIN. The weakness to treat others with contempt, scorn or a lack of respect.

Some signs of disdain:

•Sarcasm and cynicism in communication with others
•Derisive or insulting humor
•Contemptuous facial expressions (eye rolling, sneering, raising upper lip …)
•Insults and name-calling

“Look for Christ our Lord in everyone and you will then have respect and reverence for all.” - St. Teresa of Jesus
