Second Reading for The Common of Martyrs

James 1:2-4, 12

Summary: Rejoice in trials, knowing they strengthen faith and build perseverance. Those who endure will receive the crown of life, a promise from God to those who love him.

Joy in Trials

Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Blessed is the man who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proved he will receive the crown of life that he promised to those who love him.
