Perseverance 

“By your perseverance, you will secure your lives.” (LK 21: 19)

Perseverance is a virtue. The dictionary describes it this way: “persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.” Married life and family life are a perfect environment to grow in this virtue: loving our differences, day by day changing our old habits and creating better ones, seeing our children grow and helping them to mature, and so on. Never, ever give up; this helps us start a new day with new hope and ideas, knowing that God is always there when we need His help. 

“Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
