Virtues #8: Fortitude & the Vow of Poverty + A Dream I Had + Akita, Japan

3/11/2021

Today's mini-retreat topic is a continuation of the treatment of the cardinal virtue of fortitude, and it takes what might be a surprising twist for you. Take out your Bible and turn to the Gospel of Matthew so you can look at chapters 6 and 24 together with me.

Thanks to all who follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit to freely to support this ministry! May you be richly rewarded with faith, hope, love, and endurance to the end.

"thank you" from venezuela

" UNA VEZ MÁS QUIERO DARLE LAS GRACIAS EN NOMBRE DE LOS NIÑOS DE NUESTRO PAIS Y NUESTRO ESTADO MONAGAS, POR ESTE GRAN GESTO DEL CIELO, DE SOLIDARIDAD QUE HAN MANIFESTADO DE TODO CORAZÓN CON LOS MÁS PEQUEÑOS Y VULNERABLES DEL REINO. ESTARÁN FELICES DE SABER QUE NO ESTÁN SÓLOS, QUE HAY ALGUIEN QUE DESDE MUY LEJOS SE ACORDÓ DE ELLOS Y EN NOMBRE DE PAPA DIOS HAN EXTENDIDO SU MANO Y SU CORAZÓN PARA SUMARSE A ESTA NOBLE CAUSA. AL INVERTIRLO EN LOS ALIMENTOS PARA NUESTROS NIÑOS LE IREMOS INFORMANDO. Y PASANDOLE FOTOS. DIOS LES RECOMPENSE A UD Y A TODOS LOS QUE ESTÁN DETRAS DE ESTE DIVINO REGALO.
