PERSEVERING AGAINST DEFECTS

God’s goodness never can be outdone. On our part, however, a choice is demanded. That is, we sincerely have to want personal shortcomings and weaknesses to be otherwise. Do not become comfortable and accepting of personal faults and failings. Instead, make every effort to overcome them, trusting always in God’s inestimable mercy.  Resist all temptations to make friends with anything and anyone who separates us from God and others.

Jesus asks us to persevere in the struggle, to begin anew as often as is necessary, and to set our sights squarely on Him each and every day (cf. Hebrews 12:2).
