Ardens Virtus
Ardens Virtus men embrace baptism's Spirit, courageously facing life's battles with prayer, sacrifice, and brotherly love.
As the men of Ardens Virtus, we lay claim to the truth that at the moment of baptism, we are filled with the Spirit and equipped for battle. The Fall left us in a position where we must fight, suffer, and die for love. We do not uphold passivity toward the threats of the world but strive to meet those threats by riding forward in the light of truth: our complete weakness and the total strength with the Lord on our side. Instead of living the life of a coward, we cling to a life built on prayer, sacrifice, and brotherly love. As a brotherhood, we understand the war over the human heart is not to be faced alone and we actively love and support those in the heart of this battle.
