There are two main areas where we can develop perseverance: in faith and in prayer

The first thing we need to do in times of struggle is know our faith

The first commandment commands us to believe firmly in God and in His Word

It is forbidden to worship to the angels and saints, for this belongs to God alone

By the first commandment, we are commanded to worship God by faith, hope, charity, and true religion

Charity is a supernatural virtue by which we love God above all things

Venial sin dims the soul's beauty, diminishes hatred of sin, and reduces the reception of grace

Mortal sin is a supreme contempt for the infinite majesty of God

The Church, in its essence, is Christ, and Christ does not change and will not change
