Endurance & Fortitude
Catholic Prayers for Strength, Endurance & Renewed Hope
Fortitude is one of the four cardinal virtues and a foundational gift of the Holy Spirit. Christian hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident assurance that God's promises are trustworthy and that no darkness can conquer the light of Christ.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
— Philippians 4:13
