Gluttony wants us to give into our self gratification for eating and drinking, among other things. Temperance is our ability to control our- selves and these desires. We may fall into the trap of self in- dulgence but during these times we can call upon the virtue of moderation. Kindness overcomes the sin of envy. Our love for someone should be without bias or spite. God blesses each of us in dif- ferent ways. Envy will cause a rift in your relationship with God and others. Look upon your life with positivity rather than counting the ways God “hasn’t” blessed you. Meekness overcomes the sin of anger. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the world”. When He was con- fronted by angry crowds who wanted to torture and kill him, he prayed for them. How often do we become upset and con- sumed by trivial matters? Use Christ as your model, control your anger and resentment and cultivate patience through this virtue. To continue reading this article go to page 2.

How to Ward off the 7 Deadly Sins with the 7 Lively Virtues
People have heard of and can recall the seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices and cardinal sins. But, so often we cannot name the virtues which help us overcome these sins! Rather than focusing on the sins which bog down our spiritual life, turn your eyes to the virtues which can help break the bonds of sin. The Catholic Church has distinctive categories of virtues. The 7 heavenly virtues, also called the Capital vir-tues, contrary virtues, heavenly virtues, are the virtues which overcome the 7 deadly sins: lust, greed, envy, anger, pride, and sloth. Chastity overcomes the sin of lust. Everyone could use more chastity in a world that is constantly displaying sexual images. The Catholic Bible tells us that our bodies are temples for the Holy Spirit. The virtue of Chastity can help calm our lustful desire for sexual acts and restrain our wandering eyes. Generosity overcomes the sin of greed. Our lives can be filled with a yearning for material goods. Material objects can block our vision of Christ who told us to give to the poor. This means not only do we give what we have in “excess” but to surrender all of our time, money, and spiritual gifts to those in need. Temperance overcomes the sin of gluttony.

REGISTER FOR 2020-2021! Registration for the 2020-2021 school year has begun for new and returning families! Visit costa-Galesburg.net to register online! Dear Galesburg Catholic Community: I wanted to let you know that I share your joy and excitement over our new principal, Father Jacob Rose, who is, of course not new to us. We have been praying for this and the answer to our prayers has surprised us all, including Father Rose himself. I am grateful to the Office of Catholic Schools for this bold step which builds on the best of our Catholic education tradition and is part of a dynamic vision for the future of Costa Catholic Academy. We are indebted to Bishop Jenky for his commitment to Catholic education and for his fatherly oversight of the Office of Catholic Schools, and his confidence in the abilities of Father Rose. I want to personally thank Father Rose, my confrere and assistant, for his collaboration with me in discerning this proposal that was presented to us. That spirit of collaboration will continue as we navigate this new path. There will be challenges and sacrifices as there always are in doing anything worthwhile, especially in the service of Christ and His Church. We will meet those challenges and make those sacrifices by the grace of God and with the support of your good will and prayers. So, let us go forward together with faith, hope, and charity.

How to Ward off the 7 Deadly Sins with the 7 Lively Virtues...continued
Humility overcomes the sin of pride. God humbles the proud and exalts the humble! Pride is the devil’s sin, and just like him Satan wants us to hold ourselves up as gods. Everything we have is from God, and everything we do is derived from the gifts he has given us. By being modest we can turn out-wards and lift up those around us. Diligence overcomes the sin of sloth. The virtue of diligence aids us in fulfilling our duties and cultivating a strong work ethic. Sloth draws us in to be lazy in all aspects of our life, physical and spiritual. We should develop our talents and gifts rather than keeping them wrapped up in sloth All other sins stem from 1 or more of these deadly sins. By praying for these 7 heavenly virtues we can keep each of these sins from creeping into our lives. Start praying for these virtues daily to help defeat Satan and these vices. Swap out your 7 deadly sins for these 7 heavenly virtues! For more information on the virtues and vices refer to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Wednesdays 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM The Most Blessed Sacrament is not a relic or a
memory, it is Jesus Himself. He is all-powerful, all loving, all-perfect and anxiously
waiting for us to visit. All the treasures and wonders of this world are nothing compared to
who we find in Adoration. Will you reserve time to be with Jesus?
