The Virtue of Moderation
Also known as: Restraint

DEFINITION OF MODERATION:
Attention to balance in one’s life

MODERATION LOOKS LIKE:

  • Taking the time each day to rest

~James 5:16
OUR LADY OF GOOD HEALTH
“O Lady of Good Health,

our Merciful Father chose you to be a powerful intercessor in times of trouble and woe.​
As in past centuries when you have ended contagious diseases, we implore you now to end the Coronavirus which is damaging the health of many and spreading fear in our communities.​
Teach us not to be afraid, to be courageous and generous in offering assistance to others, and to live joyfully in the state of grace. ​
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”​
