New Year's Resolutions

January 2, 2012

The struggle. It's the New Year and resolutions are in order. The struggle to be virtuous and forsake the life of sin continues. It's a constant daily struggle. But because God loves us, he calls us to keep persevering. The devil on the other hand wants us to give up and return to a life of sin and misery. It's my resolution to continue the fight despite my failures. When I fall, I will pick myself up, ask for forgiveness and keep moving forward toward God, my Father.

Here is an encouraging quote from Rev. Ron Gillis: “The spirit of Saint Jose-Maria (Escriva) is that the important thing is the struggle. The struggle is the sign of holiness. A saint is a sinner that keeps trying.”
