Summary
Fortitude is the supernatural gift of courage, which allows us to have the persistence to follow God's will, no matter what we might face. We see fortitude demonstrated not only by the saints, but also by the people of the Old Testament. Let's all pray for the gift of fortitude this Advent!

| 0:23.7 | Hey there, Spouts. |
| 0:27.4 | Today is November 30th, 2020. |
| 0:32.7 | Today is also the feast day of St. Andrew, the Apostle. |
| 0:38.2 | Today is the last day of November, the last day that we are under the patronage of our saint for the B.S.A. Saint Kids Club, St. Martin de Porres, who is challenging us to continue |

| 0:49.8 | So if you will join me, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. |
| 0:56.1 | In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. |
