Happiness, Virtue, and Holiness Course
The course begins with an analysis of human flourishing/happiness and introduces the concept of virtue as its indispensable condition. The entire Christian life is then presented according to the cardinal, theological virtues and the Commandments as stated in the Catechism. Since virtue demands balance, a special emphasis is placed on properly distinguishing and harmonizing grace/nature, terrestrial pursuit/heavenly ambition, soul/body, self/neighbor, and individual/community within the pursuit of holiness.
