Welcome to Day 4 of the Small Steps Blog Tour! Our theme today is Courage.

SmallSteps(300x300)

You'll find today's "small steps" over at Franciscan Mom. We invite you to join us throughout the day in offering a rosary reflecting on the Sorrowful Mysteries. There is no shortage of suffering in the world, but that doesn't make it easy. It takes courage to face suffering, to pray through it, to accept it, to hold others through it.

The Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary:

  • The Agony in the Garden
  • The Scourging at the Pillar
  • The Crowning with Thorns
  • The Carrying of the Cross
  • The Crucifixion

Don't forget to enter the "Five Minutes Alone" contest that's going on as part of our blog tour!
