"We can resist or change many things according to our wishes; but basically we must accept what comes and is given to us. To understand this and to act accordingly is patience. Anyone who is unwilling to do this is in constant conflict with his own existence." Romano Guardini For Reflection: To what extent do I accept what comes and is given to me? How can I bring myself into conformity with the permissive will of God? (See tomorrow's Grace Line by Father Guardini to discover the characteristics of a patient person.)
