Temperance: The Freedom for Self-control

What this episode covers

The word "temperance" has often been associated with people joining a temperance league - making an oath never to drink alcohol. The virtue of temperance is a much more wide-ranging and attractive thing. It's all about managing our bodies and our emotions in healthy ways that make us more what we are made to be. Like the other moral virtues, then, temperance is a humanising habit that brings its own happiness both here and in the afterlife. Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.
