St. Teresa of Avila wrote:
"Patience obtains all things."
Patience is a virtue -- but it is also a gift
We can give and teach ourselves, with God's grace.
 
All throughout creation,
God has given us gentle lessons in patience.
 
Just look at the tender blossoms that
Wait to bloom after the winter snow!
 
We patiently wait for prayers to be answered,
Love to arrive, work to be recognized,
Children to grow in wisdom, health to be restored,
And for faith to be rewarded.
 
To build our hearts into a home for God takes a lifetime
And the building is often slow.
But if we cultivate patience in support of our faith and trust,
The wait becomes easier and the blossoms we hope for do grow.
