Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I have decided to have my kids start a study of the virtues, and make a virtues notebook. I purchased this product for inspiration and it's working because, while it is still in the shipping box, my kids keep getting into it and wondering what we're going to do with it.

That's sort of my problem, knowing exactly what to do with it. I have PACE but I've never really used it too much. I think it's because the virtues are different. I want the virtues we study to line up with the virtues the kids learn about in the Catechism (the virtues chart from The Virtue Store, linked to above, does.)

So, any ideas on how to proceed with this?
The only ideas I have so far are to have the kids compile a notebook with a section for each virtue. We'll learn what the virtue is and talk about how to live that virtue in our everyday lives. I would like to include quotes, poems, short stories etc. but I'm not sure where to find them. I really wish PACE was set up according the the virtues listed in the Catechism because that would be exactly what I was looking for.
My other thought is to try to "rename" the virtues in PACE so they fit better, but I can't seem to do that very well.

Help!
