FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

Fortitude is the moral virtue

that ensures firmness in difficulties

and constancy in the pursuit of the good.

It strengthens the resolve to resist temptations

and to overcome obstacles in the moral life.

.

The virtue of fortitude enables one to conquer fear, even fear of death,

and to face trials and persecutions.

It disposes one even to renounce and sacrifice his life in defence of a just cause.

.

"The Lord is my strength and my song." (Ps 118:14)

.

"In the world you have tribulation;

but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."(Jn 16:33)

.
