Virtue- Week Five (Diligence)

Week 5- Diligence

Diligence: working hard to pay proper attention to a task; giving the degree of care needed in a given situation.

             Synonym: commitment                                                    Antonym: laziness

“Idleness begets a life of discontent. It develops self-love, which is the cause of all our miseries and renders us unworthy to receive the favors of divine love.”
-St. Ignatius of Loyola








How to Practice This Virtue:
Take pride in your work. Don’t do things halfway or in a sloppy manner.

If you see a chore that needs to be done around the house, don’t wait for your parents to ask you to do it. Surprise them by doing it on your own.
