· Hebrews 12:1–2
A saint’s life can offer encouragement without becoming an impossible comparison. Notice a particular virtue and the circumstances in which it was practised. Choose one modest way to practise that virtue in the life you actually have.
A question to sit with
Which virtue would help my household this week?
One small step
Read one saint’s biography and choose one practical lesson.
Pray
Lord, thank You for the witness of the saints. Help me follow You in my own circumstances. Amen.
