VIRTUE OF THE WEEK

COURAGE

As Catholics we are called each day to live courageously. To be truly Catholic is not an easy task. God asks us to live selflessly and place all our trust in Him, and it is not easy. There will be days when we wish to wallow in our sorrows or give in to the pleasures of the world, but a courageous soul does not give in. A courageous soul stands up to the world. A courageous soul understands not only the beauty of sacrifice but also the power and grace of God. To be afraid is human, but that does not mean you lack courage. Fear is an emotion, but courage is the conviction to stand up for what you believe in; to stand up for the truth. So many of us fear the call to sacrifice because we look at sacrifice as losing something. If we wish to be courageous, we must first come to the realization that in sacrifice we lose nothing and in fact gain everything.

"St. Michael, guard me, guide me, and protect me. Give me the courage I need to stand up and defend almighty God."

BE UNDERSTANDING

Others have not been given what we have been given. We must try to understand that everyone is different and at a different level than ourselves. In doing this we will be able to be more patient and perhaps bring others closer to God. 

our

weekly

resolutions

Today we will strive to accomplish these two resolutions. Remember - the whole Warpath team is counting on you. We all are helped by the effort of each member.

BE READY

We must always be ready. This week, make the resolution to go to confession. If you are not able to get to confession this week, you should be making an effort to examine your conscience daily and saying your act of contrition before you go to sleep.
