“If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness.” St. Charles Borromeo

One of the ways the Evil One tries to distract us from growing in relationship with God is by discouragement. We don't always see our progress day by day. In fact, many times we can't see our progress, even though God is doing something great in our lives. Our role is not to see but to be renewed in our commitment each day to grow in love of God and to act on that decision throughout the day. God is the initiator and the finalizer of the progress. Our role is to remain faithful in the service of the Lord in spite of the challenges.
