Listen to Fr. Daniel's homily about the virtue of perseverance.
"...being faithful to the mission, completing the task, trusting in the grace of God, because sometimes that is all that seems to give you energy - the only thing you have left is trusting in the grace of God. ... I hope that your life is about accomplishing the work that God has given you to do in this life because, in that, Jesus says in today's Gospel, we glorify God as Jesus did when He did His work and accomplished all that He was sent to do." (from Fr. Daniel's homily)
