How to Master 12 Essential Virtues in 12 Months
On every page Cultivating Virtue imparts the true spirit of the Catholic Faith. This book takes 12 Christian virtues—one for each month, with a reading for each day of the year—and shows you how to master each one. Featuring episodes and sayings from the lives of the Saints, it covers Perfection, Humility, Mortification, Patience, Meekness, Confidence, and Charity, among others.
Master the virtues and set out on your road to becoming a saint by learning directly from the great saints, such as St. Francis de Sales, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Vincent de Paul, St. John of the Cross, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, St. John Chrysostom, and many others.
Cultivating Virtue possesses the unique quality of touching the soul with just a few paragraphs and putting a person in tune with God’s view of our affairs. The reader can pick it up for a few moments and gain incomparable inspiration. This is one of the most moving and powerful Catholic books ever written and one that will enflame the reader with the love of God and desire for true Christian perfection.

timeless Catholic wisdom
TAN books has done well again by publishing this book (notice original imprimatur in 1891). Excellent spiritual reading especially for confused novus ordo Catholics --- TAN books were instrumental in my conversion to the traditional Latin Mass.

Lovely book
This book is absolutely wonderful. There are 12 virtues, one for each month, along with a Saint quote for each day. So much richness in these quotes leaving so much to ponder. A wonderful companion for today's trying times. Would make a great gift.

Grow a little each day
It can be so overwhelming thinking of all the areas we need to grow in. This book breaks the virtues down so that we only focus on one each month. Then within the month we look at one aspect of that virtue through the eyes and experience of those that have gone before us¶ the Saints. It only came leather bound so it was bit more expensive but this book will be a treasure to me for a long time, it was worth it!
