Virtue- Week Six (Perseverance)


Week 6- Perseverance

Perseverance: the act of holding to a course, belief, purpose, etc.’ without giving way; to persist, in spite of opposition or discouragement

             Synonym: continuance                                                    Antonym: surrendering

“Start by doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
-St. Francis of Assisi



How to Practice This Virtue:
Do you know someone who has fallen away from the faith? Commit one year to praying for him or her.

Always finish what you start- even if it means extra or unexpected sacrifices from you.

God does not give us anything that we can not handle. The strength that He gives us to endure is found in our perseverance of prayer.
