The Way of Gratitude and the Way of Perfection

The Pursuit of Virtue when the Ideal is Not Present

In this episode, we consider what it means to pursue perfection when the vision of perfection given us is not possible.

It’s an appropriate thing to consider during Lent, what it means for us to be called into a way of being perfect as God is perfect, and how our vision of that goodness is made possible by gratitude and not by aspiration.
