Ash Wednesday is beckoning us to joy. The Book of Sirach says, "As the test of what the potter molds is in the furnace, so in tribulation is the test of the just." This week Oro Valley Catholic discusses how the virtue of temperance brings joy from pleasure and protects them both from our passions, appetites and tendency towards self-destruction.
