Restraining my impatience cost me so much that I was bathed in perspiration." -St. Therese of Lisieux |
For Reflection:
How consoling to know that the Little Flower struggled so with patience - at least once! Am I willing to "sweat" to acquire this virtue? St. Therese pray for me!
(See tomorrow's Grace Line for one saint's suggestion on how to increase patience.)
59. In a word, we know that they shall be true disciples of Jesus Christ, walking in the footsteps of His poverty, humility, contempt of the world, charity; teaching the narrow way of God in pure truth, according to the holy Gospel, and not according to the maxims of the world; troubling themselves about nothing; not accepting persons; sparing, fearing and listening to no mortal, however influential he may be.
