The reflection also ties into the new year and a class on patience, using a personal anecdote about driving to Mass to illustrate how God provides opportunities to grow in virtues like patience (1:27-3:09).

Finally, the video encourages dedicating 2026 to a deeper prayer life, emphasizing the need for silence and solitude to allow God to speak and guide personal growth in virtues (4:08-5:21).
