Begin Again
“All human creations are the result of unwearied new beginnings.” —G. Chevrot
Chevrot is talking about works of art, sculpture, books—the products of our labor. But he’s making a deeper connection to the spiritual life.
Excellence doesn’t come from getting it right once. It comes from trying again and again and again.
Unwearied new beginnings.
Whether we’re riding high or hitting a rough patch, we will need to begin again. That’s not the exception—that’s the rule.
The artist doesn’t nail the masterpiece on the first attempt. The writer doesn’t craft the perfect sentence without revision. The sculptor chips away, adjusts, and sometimes starts over.
And the same is true for us.
Our spiritual life isn’t about perfection on the first try. It’s about showing up again. Confessing again. Praying again. Trying again.
Today is another beginning. Take it.

Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, as we begin this new year, we ask for the strength to persevere. To begin again each day, each moment, to never grow weary in our pursuit of You. Help us to remember that You are the Master Craftsman, and we are Your work of art. Perfect us in the way You see fit, and in Your time. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Keep fighting the good fight. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
