How Should We View Difficulty?

Homily from the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Persist through severity.

There are big moments in our lives. We usually think of the beginning or the end of something as the moments of consequence. But the middle often holds the most impactful moments of consequence; times when we are called to persevere...to "remain faithful" to the decisions we have made.
