Hi, I teach Christian Ethics at Seton Hall University and was hoping to use the image as a visual aid for the class discussion on Thomas Aquinas on the theological and cardinal virtues.
I am looking to use this for the middle school catechesis class I am teaching at my parish. I am hoping to help plant a seed of wanting the good life (eudaimonia), that is the life of virtue.
We have a small home-school co-op class in my local parish area. I set out to begin each class with an ongoing conversation regarding virtue, and have been struggling to come up with some kind of visual image to set before the students. Thank you both for coming up with such an image, and making your work shareable with my students.
Hi! We will be using this graphic during an upcoming season of Catholic retreats on the Virtues at the St. Francis Retreat Center in Dewitt, Michigan. Thank you Dr. Abela for this amazing resource!
Thank you, Dr. Abela, for this diagram! I've been playing around with different virtue diagrams for St. Thomas's account of intellectual, theological, and cardinal/moral virtues. This is very close to what I think I was looking for. I would love to see you build out the theological and intellectual virtues pieces!
I just downloaded this to share with the men's group that I lead. We've talked in several different series of the cardinal and theological virtues. I've mentioned your book on different occasions but still want to return and have a discussion series on the more practical approaches to growing in virtue. I want to introduce the Anatomy of Virtue as a teaser for returning to a discussion series on everyday virtue. Thank you, Dr. Abela!
Hello! I teach the confirmation class at St Mary's Mission in Elberton, GA. I used this graphic in the section I teach on Virtues. I wish had something like this when I was their age. I am so thankful to have it now, and very thankful that we can share this knowledge. Non Nobis Domine!
I've read your book and glad to have the color PDF. Yours is a very useful classification system for Virtues. I have long used the Seligman and Peterson Classification of Virtues and Strengths. This is another way to look at the classification. Thank you for your important contribution!
I love this graphic and will read your book. I would like to refer to this in the book I am (very bravely) writing and will ensure I include the link. I don't know if I can include the graphic in the book - but I certainly wish to make reference to it and include the link. Thank you so very much. This is my website, however, I can't link to my book yet as it isn't finished! http://crescendo.com.au/
Hi Debbie - glad you like it! Yes, please feel free to include a link in your book. If you want to include the actual image, please send me a direct message.
This week I will review the book (Amazon and social media) and link to this page in my eNews and blog. Thanks for your generosity in giving permission to use this, with related info. I’ll email links to Dr. Abela.
Thanks. Great chart to help breakdown aspects of the virtues. Sharing it with my wife and plan to incorporate it in my family’s growth journey sometime in the future.
Hello! This diagram was used for Franciscan University's Troubadour magazine. Thank you and God bless!

Thanks Matthew! Not likely to occur in the near future, unfortunately, due to my many other obligations. Why not try it yourself?
