“Perseverance” is recognized

By Nancy Replogle

The latest LIFE (Living in a Faith-filled Environment) skill emphasized at St. Mary of the Assumption School was “Perseverance.” Our Bible model was Mary Magdalene, who had been possessed by seven demons. Jesus removed the demons and forgave Mary her sins. Mary followed Jesus closely and became one of his most devoted followers. She was the first to see Jesus after his Resurrection.
