This week we are so excited to talk about the cardinal virtue: fortitude. We were so excited to dive into this topic as it has a lot of significance in both our lives.
Fortitude ensures firmness in difficulties and is constantly pursing the good (CCC 1808). It's so important not only for large moments in our lives but it's necessary in every day actions. It helps us resist temptation, helps conquer fear, face trails and persecutions, and gives strength so we can pursue the good.
Fortitude gave St. Maximilian Kolbe the courage to sacrifice his life for a stranger. Fortitude gives a mother courage to push through those late night feedings with her new born baby because she knows it is right and good even though it can seem like an impossible task. Fortitude is the courage to do what is good even when it isn't easy.
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. ”
-C.S. Lewis
