Sanguine Temperament: Joy, Discipline, and Catholic Virtue

Grace doesn’t destroy nature—it perfects it. 🌿 In this episode of the Catholic Spiritual Warfare Podcast, we continue our deep dive into the four temperaments, focusing on the Sanguine. Known for their natural joy, spontaneous energy, and gift for human connection, Sanguines bring a beautiful light to the Church. However, without the anchor of discipline, these strengths can lead to superficiality and a lack of spiritual perseverance. Join Brother Gustavo and Brother Justin as they discuss: How the Sanguine temperament can be a powerful tool for evangelization. The struggle of the "Sanguine Dad" and the need for routine. Lessons from Sanguine saints like St. Philip Neri and St. Peter. 3 "Anchors" to help Sanguines build a disciplined prayer life without losing their joy. Are you a Sanguine or do you live with one?
