The Healing Power of the Sacraments – Virtue and Lack of Virtue – Deacon Don

In this episode of The Healing Power of the Sacraments, Deacon Don and Aidan Byrne continue their ongoing series on the virtues, they revisit last week’s discussion on prudence and the use of language before moving more deeply into the cardinal virtues—particularly justice—as rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Deacon Don and Aidan explore the real-life implications of justice: truthfulness, integrity, and the moral weight of our words. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and the writings of St. Augustine, they illuminate how lying, deceit, and the misuse of speech can wound relationships, harm the soul, and disrupt the harmony God desires for His people.

Through personal stories from ministry—comforting the dying, praying for healing, discerning when to speak and when to remain gentle—they show how the virtues are not abstract teachings, but living guides that shape how we accompany others, especially in moments of suffering, fear, and vulnerability.

This episode invites listeners to reflect deeply on their own speech, intentions, and habits of the heart, offering practical spiritual insight wrapped in compassion, encouragement, and the ever-present call to holiness.
