TODAY’S WORD…
.
God is our shelter and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken
and mountains fall into the ocean depths;
even if the seas roar and rage,
and the hills are shaken by the violence.
.
– Psalm 46:1-3 (GNT)

PRAYER…

My Living God,
my spirit rests in You
You’re all I know.
Embrace and touch me
– like a child I’m safe in You.
.
You’re my shelter through it all,
You’re my refuge and my strength.
Lord I hide in the shadow of Your wings.
.
My Lord, You’re faithful,
You supply all good things.
You know completely
all my thoughts – my deepest needs.
.
You’re my shelter through it all,
You’re my refuge and my strength.
Lord I hide in the shadow of Your wings.
.
Amen.

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)
