[Resent id=10771853 2012-03-01 16:56:21 from timpalmer] Happy Thursday. Perseverance is the rope that ties the soul to the doorpost of Heaven. Without it even the most pious will fail. With it the most stupid attain. Not to give up in the face of the impossible is your ultimate salvation. It is well called "the perseverance of the saints." for it requires saintly determination to continue on in dedication when all the forces of hell are arrayed against the soul. Perseverance is to the human spirit what the rudder is to a ship. It will steer the ship dead ahead in spite of the contrary wind. This you must have, my child... not fleshly zeal, but holy determination pressing on in defiance of all odds.
