Para Hadewijch as virtudes n o eram inatas nem cresciam espontaneamente, ao contrário, deviam ser cultivadas no interior de cada crist o, era uma quest o de estudo, de exercício. Os preceitos crist os tinham que ser permanentemente exortados e constantemente praticados a fim de que as mulheres n o se afastassem do ideal de imita o de Cristo que enquanto homem foi um exemplo de amor e virtudes. Nesse sentido, a obra de Hadewijch deve ser vista a partir de sua fun o pedagógico-catequética que visava ressaltar os comportamentos morais que sustentavam a religiosidade das beguinas. To Hadewijch the virtues were not inborn nor grew spontaneously, on the contrary, should be cultivated within each Christian, it was a matter of study, exercise. The Christian principles had to be constantly encouraged and practiced in order that women did not departed from Christ ideal that as a men was an example of love and virtues.
