The Second Week- Week 9

The Two Standards

God does not call us to be successful, but to be faithful.

– St. Teresa of Calcutta

This week, we stand at a crossroads, called to choose between two banners- the Standard of Christ, marked by humility and love, and the Standard of the Enemy, marked by pride and deceit. Let us open our hearts to discern where true freedom and purpose lie, aligning ourselves with the path that leads to eternal life.
