"I read somewhere that the difference between persistence and perseverance is that persistence means pressing on despite an annoyance, while perseverance is pressing on despite a hardship. Jesus promises in the Gospel this Sunday: By your perseverance you will secure your lives (Lk 21:19). Which means the Lord is mindful of the hardships that hound us.
"Why is perseverance the answer? . . ."
In a recent commentary, Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.,
reflected on how perseverance directs us to the deepest truth of our being - that God does not love us because we are good, but that He loves us because He is good.
