1834 The human virtues are
stable dispositions of the intellect and the will that govern our acts, order
our passions, and guide our conduct in accordance with reason and faith. They
can be grouped around the four cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude,
and temperance.

The Church “forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful .
. . to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’
(⇒ Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine
Scriptures…. Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the
reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and
man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the
divine oracles.”‘4

This vocation to eternal life is supernatural. It depends entirely on God’s
gratuitous initiative, for he alone can reveal and give himself. It surpasses
the power of human intellect and will, as that of every other
creature.47

Praise is the form of prayer which recognizes most immediately that God is God.
It lauds God for his own sake and gives him glory, quite beyond what he does,
but simply because HE IS. It shares in the blessed happiness of the pure of
heart who love God in faith before seeing him in glory. By praise, the Spirit
is joined to our spirits to bear witness that we are children of
God,121 testifying to the only Son in whom we are adopted and by whom
we glorify the Father. Praise embraces the other forms of prayer and carries
them toward him who is its source and goal: the “one God, the Father, from
whom are all things and for whom we exist.”122

This petition goes to the root of the preceding one, for our sins result from
our consenting to temptation; we therefore ask our Father not to
“lead” us into temptation. It is difficult to translate the Greek verb
used by a single English word: the Greek means both “do not allow us to
enter into temptation” and “do not let us yield to
temptation.”150 “God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself
tempts no one”;151 on the contrary, he wants to set us free from
evil. We ask him not to allow us to take the way that leads to sin. We are
engaged in the battle “between flesh and spirit”; this petition
implores the Spirit of discernment and strength.

Forming “as it were, one mystical person” with Christ the head, the
Church acts in the sacraments as “an organically structured priestly
community.”36 Through Baptism and Confirmation the pRiestly people
is enabled to celebrate the liturgy, while those of the faithful “who have
received Holy Orders, are appointed to nourish the Church with the word and
grace of God in the name of Christ.”37

Therefore, they are guilty of scandal who establish laws or social
structures leading to the decline of morals and the corruption of religious
practice, or to “social conditions that, intentionally or not, make
Christian conduct and obedience to the Commandments difficult and practically
impossible.”87 This is also true of business leaders who make
rules encouraging fraud, teachers who provoke their children to
anger,88 or manipulators of public opinion who turn it away from moral
values.
