Small hands lift high
Seven loaves of bread
A few salty fish
Hardly enough to feed
Himself.
Yet, he does not
hesitate
To offer it all
For the sake
Of another.”
The Seven Virtues were created to combat each of the Seven Deadly Sins. These Seven Virtues first appeared tied together in an epic poem titled Pschomachia, written by Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, a Christian governor of the 400s AD. To battle Greed, there is Charity.
Charity can be seen as the act of giving. However, in a more Christian-centered defition, Charity is love and kindness toward others, even if they do not deserve it. Aquinas attributed Charity to the love of God. This charitable poem was inspired by the act that took place in John 6.
Happy Writing Everyone!
