THE THREE VIOLETS AWARD
The three virtues of humility, simplicity, and modesty come to us from Marcellin Champagnat. These virtues give a quality of authenticity and kindness to our relationships with all the people we meet. These virtues are likened to three violets hidden in the garden, you can’t always see them however you know they are there through their beautiful perfume.
Humility
Calls us to be humble before God and others, to be grounded in the real world, using our gifts and talents in the service of others with a sense of self-forgetfulness not looking for praise or success or recognition.
Simplicity
Calls us to be honest and genuine relationships with others, lacking pretence.
Modesty
Calls us to be polite toward others not seeking to impose our views or be ‘in the face’ of another. It calls us to be humble when successful or victorious and gracious when defeated.
