Courage, guided by wisdom, can move hearts and transform lives.

St. Mary Euphrasia reminds us that the desire to do great works is a grace—one that must be nurtured with humility, faith, and discernment. When courage is placed under God’s guidance, even the works that seem impossible become paths of mercy and love.

May we have the courage to begin what God places in our hearts. 🤍
