Live The Liturgy
Persistence is really a virtue and the face of a strong character. We all have heard stories
of people who have done incredible things in the presence of obstacles that appear
insurmountable. These are real stories of real people who have lost limbs or faced other
physical challenges. They have become amazing athletes and sometimes saints who
overcame incredible difficulties in order to proclaim God's love and presence. Where
there is a strong will, there is a way. What do we want Jesus to do for us? Let your faith
inspire you to find the courage to love in the face of bitterness, the faith to persevere
when tempted to give up, and the hope to move forward when falling into despair. Jesus
saves us from ourselves and gives us the clear vision to see as God sees.

people begin to wonder whether they can go on living while in the midst of
their struggles.” “The presenters for the conference have a wealth of
experience and will surely help all to become more knowledgeable and more inspired to
work toward building a culture that affirms life” Bishop Michael Warfel
