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
Sin turns away the will from the supreme good and hardens it in evil
Sin is an offense against God by any thought, word, deed or omission against the law of God
The Church must be prepared for false teaching from the clergy, and we must defend our faith
St. Benedict helps us recognize the word of God is the best foundation for the power of words
Like many other mysteries of the faith, we get what we need by letting go of what we think we have
To prepare for the Second Coming, we must be steadfast in our faith
Christian responses to pro-abortion arguments must have love at the center
After a victory like the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the enemy only doubles its efforts
We don't need revolution, we need love of country and unshakable commitment to truth
Overturning Roe v. Wade is a tremendous gift we should praise God for
The beginning of faith is knowing God does not lie about who He is
The cure for death can be found in the Feast of Corpus Christi
Believing in the mysteries of the faith increases our reverence for God
The Trinity is an infinitely rich mystery that can only be believed, not understood
Americans should prepare now to survive food shortages by turning to self-sufficiency
Bishops should've followed the example of St. Charles Borromeo in dealing with a pandemic
