What does it really mean to live a good life—and why isn’t good intention enough? In this episode of What Catholics Believe, Dr. Edward Sri explains why virtue is essential for becoming the kind of person who can truly love. Virtue isn’t just about self-improvement; it’s about freedom—the freedom to give yourself fully to God and to others in everyday life.
Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, the saints, and even ancient philosophers like Aristotle, Dr. Sri introduces the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—and shows how they form the foundation of a life well lived. Through relatable examples from marriage, parenting, friendship, and work, he explains how virtue shapes our habits, our character, and ultimately our happiness.
If you’ve ever wondered how faith connects to real-life decisions, relationships, and growth, this episode offers a practical and deeply Catholic vision of the “art of living”—one that helps us become more like Christ in the ordinary moments of daily life.
