We have to believe that it is possible to have the courage needed to do the impossible. It is easy to be overwhelmed by all there is to do in our lives--and even more overwhelmed by what needs to be done in the world. Courage will help us do what the Holy Spirit calls us to do.
Courage doesn't mean not to have fear or not to feel overwhelmed; courage means to act from the heart. If the Holy Spirit lives in our heart, we can move ahead with confidence. There may be no signs that promise better times, but remember they are possible. Depend on that glimmer of inner light and know that those who do the impossible are those who kept going when everyone said it couldn't be done.

By loving us, God makes us lovable.
What do you call a soldier without an army? (Deserter)
What do you call a child without a family? (Orphan)
What do you call a fish without water? (Dead)
What do you call a Christian without a Church? [all the above]
The Church is the powerful forming or shaping of God's People to establish His kingdom on the earth. QDM
"Not all who wander are lost!" JRR Tolkien
True, whole prayer is nothing but love!
St. Augustine
To journey without being changed is to be a nomad,
To change without journeying is to be a chameleon,
To journey and be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim.

(Mark Nepo, The Exquisite Risk)
In every encounter, God asks "Adam, where are you? Where do you stand? How is it with you?" To answer this question, a person must be willing, lucid, transparent. Once someone has left behind the habitual prayers of childhood and has entered into the personal encounter, there is no way back. He must live in the light of God and expose and entrust himself to the light ever more unconditionally. (Adrienne Von Speyr)

Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”
