Fortitude is paramount for living the Christian vocation fully. As a good operative habit, it perfects the will in the face of difficulty, enabling resistance to evil and perseverance in good, naturally and supernaturally through the Holy Spirit's gift. Modeled by Christ's obedience unto death, it empowers disciples to overcome fear and weariness. This virtue is critical for integral formation from childhood, supporting maturity in educational and pastoral spheres, and guiding daily life with responsibility and meaning.

In a world of emotional fragility and minimal effort, fortitude is more necessary than ever. It is a demanding yet profoundly human and Christian path, not traveled alone but with God's help and constancy. Promoting fortitude in new generations will foster a society "firmer in the truth, constant in doing good, capable of suffering with meaning and acting with hope," leading to a more free and responsible society "capable of sustaining the weight of truth and love."
