Virtue of the Month for January: Courage
What is courage? Courage is personal bravery in the face of fear. It is doing what needs to be done even when it is really hard or scary. Courage is going ahead even when you feel like giving up and quitting. Courage is needed in trying new things, in facing difficult situations, and in picking yourself up after a mistake and trying again. It is doing what you know is right even if other people laugh at you or call you names. Courage comes from knowing that God is there to help and that you can count on God always.
Why practice courage? Courage is the best thing you can have if you are scared or unsure. Courage helps you do great things. Without courage everyone would do only what is easy. No one would try new things that seem hard. Fear would be in charge.
How do you practice it? You do what you know is right even when it is hard or scary. You face your mistakes with courage, learn from them, and keep trying. You work to understand something which you are afraid of and decide if it is real or just imagined. Remember that you can always ask for help when you need it. You can count on God to give you strength and help. When you feel afraid, go ahead and feel your fear. Name it, then let it go. Decide what is the wise thing to do. Go ahead and do it even if you still feel afraid.
What does courage look like if…
- You are asked to speak inn front of your class at school?
- You feel scared of the dark when you’re trying to go to sleep? (What help do you need?)
- You see another child being teased hurt by a group of children?
- All your friends want you to try something, like stealing or smoking, and you feel it is wrong?
- You do something you are sorry for, like breaking one of your mother’s favorite plates? No one knows who did it.

- Do what you know is right even when it is hard or scary
- Admit mistakes and learn from them
- Are willing to try new things
- Ask for help from God and others
- Find courage in your heart even if others laugh at you or call you names
