Reading: As an individual is noted for virtue, so is a house noted for virtue. The house takes its spiritual complexion from the virtue of the community in the house. If those in the house, for example, are much given to prayer, it will be known as a prayerful house; if given very much to works of zeal, it will be known as a house of zeal. If those in the house excel in obedience, it will be known as a house of obedience. If those in the house have a great charity, the house will be known as a house of charity. (MCM, p. 326)
