Category: Patience

It is necessary for one to know, to hope and to struggle with persevering patience, realising that this is what pleases God.
“With your good humour, your understanding and your friendliness... you should bring happiness to everyone around you.”
Though it is perfectly natural to experience sadness over loss or injury, the virtue of patience enables us to bear suffering without being broken by sorrow or led to forsake the way of virtue.
We need patience to endure the sorrow that besets us so that we do not betray the good we have.
