Media > The Virtue of Temperance > Edit

Because it works against the vices most debasing to human nature, temperance, according to Merton, is the most beautiful of the four moral virtues. Temperance orders and harmonizes man\'s whole being into one and from this order flows serenity of spirit. It adds a decor and splendor and makes us shine.

One of Father Thomas Merton\'s most widely read, translated and beloved books is once again available in audio form. This invaluable reflection on meditation awakens the heart through a spiritual journey inside what makes us human. It guides the listener through a very personal soul searching toward the goal of contemplative spirituality and enlightenment. No book in modern times so defines the modern meditative tradition.
