Describing first the four cardinal virtues, i.e. prudence, justice, restraint of temperance, courage or fortitude and then the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, I will then explore these virtues in the lives of three important saints, San Gorg Preca, an account of his life of faith, his virtues, his teaching and his apostolate. St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, also known as Edith Stein with her virtues of moral excellence and righteousness etc.St Maximilian Kolbe who cleared the darkness of death and despair by sacrificing his life for another.
