During his last homily at his last World Youth Day, St. John Paul II spoke to almost one million young people gathered in the outskirts of Toronto, Canada about courage, about not being afraid to take a stand for Jesus Christ. In doing so, he invoked the example of the first Native American canonized saith from North America: St. Kateri Tekakwitha. In most parts of the world, the Church is right now undergoing "difficult moments." And so, our pursuit of holiness is right now "even more urgent." This Retreat Guide on St. Kateri Tekakwitha, "A Virgin's Courage," is designed to help us renew and preserve in that pursuit.
