Patience

Saturday, April 1, 2023

The fourth Fruit of the Spirit is patience.

I ask for the fruit of patience as we enter into holy week.

I do not want to rush through this holy week before Easter.

I pray to patiently walk these holy days with Jesus.

I must remind myself that Easter joy comes from Him alone.

"He never tires of knocking at the door of our hearts. Nor does he tire of waiting for us to open to him, because he loves us." Blessed Concepcion Cabrera de Armida

Jesus is patiently waiting for us to give Him our hearts.

We cannot have the Resurrection without His suffering and death.

"The entire experience of Lent is leading us to the Cross, where Jesus will show us the full extent of his pursuit of us. Be not afraid. Jesus is pursuing you. Stop. Slow down. Be still. Let him find you. He is pursuing you." Ascension Lent Companion Year A - A Personal Encounter with the Power of the Gospel

Be patient.
