I have recently returned from my yearly pilgrimage and each year as I take the time to come aside and be with Jesus in a more personal way I experience a deeper union with Him.
It’s so important for us to find that time where we can block out the noises of the world and recognise the voice of Gods spirit speaking and guiding us to our next journey.
It’s only when we get in touch with ourselves that we can truly understand the call and discern the voices around us.
All my visits to the shrines of Italy and being able to celebrate holy Mass at the tomb of Saint John Paul 11 reminded me of the richness of my faith and all our church holds. It’s through the example of the saints and their lives that we gain strength on our own personal journey.
The gift of Fortitude resounds in the lives of the saints and we can take courage knowing that if we practice the virtue of Fortitude we can overcome our hardships.
Let us then pray for the gift of Fortitude to endure.
God is with us if we are with Him.
