I’m not as familiar with Christian views on temperance (though I am very fond of After Virtue—https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16106951). I associate Christian temperance with “Thy will be done”—trying to discern God’s desires and aligning one’s own with those—but I haven’t looked into it very closely beyond that superficial guesswork. Is there any resource you would suggest beyond After Virtue to get the Thomist viewpoint on temperance (without having to read the ginormous Thomist corpus)?
