I'm guessing that the original had "difficult," not "difficulty." So it means the difficult but vital concept of moral courage.
Let's see the whole passage, since even this meaning is a little strange. I would think it should be more like, "... a willingness to endure necessary hardship is the difficult yet vital requirement for moral courage."
