The moment we now live on Earth is of great challenges, requiring a lot of courage, to behave according to the Divine Laws.
Courage to maintain honesty when almost everything around us conspires against the right attitudes.
Courage not to strike back at the blows of insanity, maintaining understanding and praying the blessings of heaven for your unbalanced brother.
Courage not to deviate from humility and integrity when, with power in our hands, we do not allow pride and selfishness to take over.
Courage to cultivate moderation and patience when we realize that the difficulties are getting worse.
Courage to maintain patience, even if your heart is beaten by the onslaught of cruel feelings that reach us.
Courage to preserve in serenity when the storms of discord and disagreements roar, threatening to bring us down.
Moral Courage
When we carry the Gospel of Jesus in our hearts, we know that it is not by running away from obstacles that we overcome them, but by facing them with calm, serenity and confidence. We understand that the first virtue of those who trust God is moral courage.
Courage that is necessary to achieve self-discipline to remain in balance in the face of attacks of less noble feelings and attitudes.
Courage that helps bearing difficulties with serenity, making the necessary efforts to overcome them.
Courage to persevere in the face of difficulties, without allowing ourselves to give up.
Our journey, in this life, reserves us many paths to travel, but the peace and happiness that we long for, will only be built with inner courage. And it is this courage that will determine when and how we will achieve our inner improvement, which will be reflected in our individual fulfillment.
The greater the achievement, the calmer our attitudes will be, helping us continue our personal journey.
Final Thoughts
Faced with the most embarrassing situations of his material life, Jesus endured all the injuries, all the humiliations that were inflicted on him, maintaining the purity of the high ideal for which he endeavored to the extreme sacrifice.
Let us have the courage to act like Him, maintaining serenity and moving on.
Let us have compassion of those who have lost their faith and stumbled upon violence.
Let us look at those who despaired and were lost in the revolt.
Let us keep in mind that true courage arises from resilience and calm in times of challenge, suffering and imbalance.
Let us protect ourselves in good. When we are about to utter any thoughtless phrase or take the least action against others, let us pray and be silent because heaven hears us. God will always sustain us in our good efforts.
