Our Iconography

All the Virtues

The symbol of the torch represents all the virtues combined. "Your light must shine before others..." (Mt. 5:16). When we try to live a life of virtue and seek out others who inspire us by their virtuous actions, we become filled with the light of Christ and become glowing manifestations of the glory of God.

Fortitude

During the first week of Lent, we focus on Fortitude, or courage. Here, we find the sword and shield an obvious and fitting choice. Chesterton would most likely agree! We are in a constant battle, says St. Paul in Ephesians, against the forces of darkness. What better symbol for courage and fortitude than the spiritual Armor of God?

Prudence

Next, in week two, we reflect on Prudence, that virtue of reason and well-formed conscience that aids us in making the right decision. We are inspired by the parable of the ten virgins (Matt 25:1-13), and take the burning oil lamp as a symbol to remind us to be wise. To know best how and when to act, we must first be properly prepared.
