St. Paul continues his exhortation in the Second Letter to the Thessalonians, pointing out that deception comes from a number of different directions. Our task? Stand firm in our faith in the Lord Jesus!
St. Paul acknowledges the endurance and faith in his 2nd Letter to the Thessalonians, reminding us that as we face the struggles of life we call upon the Lord for the strength we need.
