As we journey through Lent, I want to invite you to see this season not just as a time of giving something up, but as a powerful opportunity to build virtue. In this episode, we’ll explore how Lenten sacrifices—like fasting, acts of charity, and small daily mortifications—strengthen our “spiritual muscles” so we can overcome temptation, grow in holiness, and prepare our hearts for Easter. Ultimately, building virtue gives us greater freedom to live a holy life.
I’ll also share insights from a powerful article by Catholic Therapists member, Michael Finnegan, “Virtue-Centered Therapy: Integrating Classical Virtues, Trauma, and Cognitive Behavioral Science,” and reflect on how virtue brings order to our passions so our hearts can serve truth rather than fear. We’ll talk about practical ways to grow in prudence, temperance, courage, faith, hope, and charity—and how a Catholic therapist or Catholic life coach can help you break through obstacles like trauma, fear, or discouragement.
Let’s embrace Lent as a spiritual workout, strengthen our souls for the daily battle, and prepare for the joy of the Resurrection. Join me for this reflection, and let’s make this Lenten season truly transformative.
