Sanguines are the life of the party.
They are extroverted, with a lot of friends, are optimistic, scatter-brained, and do not hold grudges.
A sanguine soul must cultivate a love of meditation, so that they can focus on spiritual instead of temporal things.
Today, we take a look at the sanguine section of Rev. Conrad Hock’s the Four Temperaments, as we study the sanguine’s path to holiness.
In this Episode
- A sanguine must reflect on spiritual things.
- Instead of “winging” it, a sanguine must learn to plan for all possibilities.
- He must practice mortification of the senses.
- He must look for good influences and accept direction and counsel.
- Spiritual aridity purifies him.
- He must struggle against his bad traits, such as vanity, love of friendships, jealousy, levity and superficiality
