Description
In these short and personal essays, Bernard Haring--a prominent theologian and international retreat master, discusses the components of moral competence. Haring identifies and clarifies more than forty virtues, among which are the expected (charity, humility, chastity, generosity) and the unexpected (holy impatience, vigilance, frugality, reciprocity, and humor). Haring maintains, however, that each individual virtue works together to form a total domain that creates the central principle behind personal authenticity and goodness. A key theme is Haring's regrets about the Church's glorification of passive obedience which, he believes, plays right into the hands of dictatoral authority.
