Do You Know What God Is Asking of You?
These are difficult times, but great virtue is formed during great hardship.
God is pouring out His graces upon you right now. He gives us everything we need to be extraordinary!
And He’s calling YOU to deeper holiness. He’s calling YOU to sainthood and eternal life.
Will you answer His call?
Yes, YOU are Called to Be Holy
God wants you to be with Him forever in heaven.
But that takes more than prayer…it takes virtue.
And becoming more virtuous doesn’t happen overnight.
Virtues are good habits. They take time. They’re something you build, one small step at a time.
That’s why you need to start now!
In this 21-day series, we’ll show you what virtue really is (not what we think it is), how to build specific virtues that will help you cooperate with God’s grace, and tell you the story of a saint who developed that particular virtue in a special way.
Virtue takes intentionality, but there is so much to gain from it. Everything, in fact!
What You’ll Get
Heroic Virtue is not an academic study. It’s a plan of life established for you by those who’ve already achieved holiness and virtue: the saints!
You will learn
- What virtue is, and what growth in virtue really looks like
- How to be kind and loving without being a doormat
- The different types of virtue and how they help us grow closer to God
- How being virtuous makes it possible you to live a truly balanced life
- How to grow in 17 different virtues, as lived out by a real-life saint
- How challenges, obstacles, and crisis have produced amazing men and women
“We’re all called to be great saints. Don’t miss the opportunity.”
Mother Angelica
Virtue is for saints…and we’re all called to be saints.

I am so glad that Good Catholic is presenting this topic. Much to learn.
Great format. Please God I’ll retain and practice what I learn!
Loving this series as much as Mary Undoer of Knots.
Looking forward to a boost in my spiritual journey, with the Lord and our Lady and all the saints, to help me grow deeply more aware of virtues, so I can incorporate them into real life relationships. Thank you, Good Catholic/Catholic Company for this program!
I found the questions to ask oneself especially helpful in the section about putting the virtues…into practice. They are helpful in discovering the ways to use [virtue] for good in the world, for the building of my faith, defending my faith and doctrine, and sharing it!
This series is so much more than I ever anticipated it would be and am being challenged. Yes, it is a lot of reading, but is definitely worth it!!!
I am loving it. It takes a lot of time. Worth it.
Great series and this lesson was wonderful. It has me thinking about my reasoning in my life. Thank you Father Reid
Oh my! I believe Saint Jane Chantal is my “soul sister” and you, Good Catholic, have written my biography (except I have suffered far less than Saint Jane Chantal). I have been “spoken to” from above today! I need to get busy reasoning!
The way this series describe the lives of the saints is wonderful. It truly makes me want to be a saint!. Thank you Good Catholic.
