Please join us in congratulating our October Virtue Recipients for the virtue of Compassion.
VIRTUE OF THE MONTH: October
As part of York Region’s Character Community, the YCDSB celebrates a virtue or character attribute every month. In October we celebrated the virtue of compassion. In Luke’s Gospel we read, “Be compassionate as God is compassionate.” (Luke 6:17) Although we might first think of gratitude and thanksgiving as being most clearly important to recognize in October, compassion is also an associated virtue. We understand compassion not only as the ability to empathize with another person but also to act on behalf of that person. If we are truly compassionate then we will be able to express thanks or gratitude more genuinely for others because we truly care about them.
Congratulations to October’s Virtue Certificate recipients!
