The great 20th century writer and theologian, C.S. Lewis taught that “courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” It is easy to hold a belief as a theoretical matter. But each of us have moments in our lives when we might pay a price for our values or our beliefs. It is at that moment that courage comes into play. We display courage when we are not afraid to hold onto our principles and our values, even when it comes at a personal cost.
May the Holy One bless us with the ability to act with the conviction of our beliefs, and the courage to stay true to the values we hold dear. May this be God’s will--AMEN.
