Which virtue is emphasized this year in the Xaverian tradition?

• A. Humility
• B. Courage
• C. Simplicity
• D. Justice

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is recognizing the annual virtue focus within the Xaverian tradition. Simplicity is the virtue emphasized this year, inviting members to strip away excess and distractions so daily life centers on relationships, service, and core values. Embracing simplicity helps clarify motives, making it easier to act with generosity and unity, and it naturally deepens humility by reducing emphasis on material comfort or status. While humility, courage, and justice remain important in the tradition, this year’s emphasis on simplicity provides a concrete practice that shapes choices and actions in a way that supports and enhances those other virtues.
