On the value of patience in the family
Monday, December 5th, 2016Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, All ye that hope in the LORD.
This from Pope Francis in The Joy of Love On Love In The Family (2015) p.76 — …Paul wants to make it clear that “patience” is not a completely passive attitude, but one accompanied by activity, by a dynamic and creative interaction with others. The word indicates that love benefits and helps others. For this reason it is translated as “kind”; love is every ready to be of assistance.
(My two cents: By my faith I understand patience to be one of the most kind and empowering ways to grow in love and cast out fear. For I know that some of life circumstances can inspire great anxiety and a deep desire to be in control of other people and their circumstances…and yet I also know that it takes a special courage supplied by God’s grace to love someone without trying to control them or their circumstances – especially when there is strife and challenges. In Jesus’ name, Amen.)
All it takes is one mustard seed of faith to get a fresh start.
