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
