We need to see what virtues God wants from us on
a natural level and on a revealed level. We find them in God in the Old
Testament – patience, forbearance, forgiveness, mercy, the sense of paternity
or fatherhood, etc. – and in Christ – meekness, sweetness, "Learn from
Me because I am meek and humble of heart" (Mt 11:29), the sense of
paternity and maternity, poverty (in the cave and on the Cross), friendship,
compassion, the ability to suffer with others, love for the little ones and the
sick, unconditional self-giving, the spirit of sacrifice. (Holiness)
