COURAGE
Portuguese Prayer Group (AR)
“Do not be afraid; I am with you”. (Is
41:10) “Be not afraid!” is also what the
angel tells Mary at the annunciation, and
Jesus himself uses these words to
strengthen his apostles (Jn 6:20). It
takes a lot of courage to be true to our
Catholic faith. How will you demonstrate
your courage to live our faith?
