The Gift of Fortitude

by Michael D Nalley   Dec 28, 2004


Fortitude as a virtue disposes a person to firmness in good
To avoid evil, and stand up for justice, as all of us really should
Fortitude as a gift of God moves one to steadfastness even in strife
This spiritual strength gives a person confident hope of eternal life

The gift makes the exercise of the virtue easier richer, and more confident
Moving us to virtuous living and virtuous deeds, justice that is benevolent
With the gift of fortitude, in hardships and perils, we should have no fear
By the grace of Gods mercy, constancy, and patience we shall persevere
