    Nelson Mandela chose to persevere in his life’s mission regardless of the cost and hardship, just like Christians everywhere are to persevere in their mission from God regardless of the cost and hardship.

    Before I deliver my homily this morning, I’d like to say a few words about the passing of Nelson Mandela this past Thursday.
