"Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering 'I will try again tomorrow.'" St. Clotilda

Not only does that inner voice speak to us at the end of the day, but each time we fail, it urges us to try again. Without that grace from God, our life would be hopeless. It urges us never to give up in our spiritual journey to greater holiness. It motivates us not to focus on our failures, no matter how many, but to focus on the grace that God gives us to start afresh with him. This courage is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Pray for a fresh outpouring of this gift each day as we begin anew. For without it, left on our own, we are bound to remain in failure and defeat.
