A Courageous Life

 

"Have courage," we often say to one another.  Courage is a spiritual virtue.  The word courage comes from the Latin word cor, which means "heart.  A courageous act is an act coming from the heart. A courageous word is a word arising from the heart.  The heart, however, is not just the place where our emotions are located.  The heart is the centre of our being, the centre of all thoughts, feelings, passions, and decisions.
