Wednesday, Week 6: "put away all filth and evil excess"

everyone should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.

-- Jas 1:19-27

The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco, or medicine. Those incur grave guilt who, by drunkenness or a love of speed, endanger their own and others' safety on the road, at sea, or in the air.

-- CCC 2290
