“Many people are pleased by what they hear, and sincerely resolve to pursue the good. Yet when adversity and suffering come, they soon abandon their good works.”

                                                  -St. Gregory the Great 

For Reflection: 

In what area is my resolve weakening today? With that in mind I pray:

Heavenly Father,

Today I ask you to give me the grace to “hang on and hang in” regarding this particular situation or area of my life. Give me the strength, fortitude, patience, and perseverance I need. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

St. Gregory the Great, pray for me.
