Arm yourselves with that patience which works such wonders in the saints and renders a frail girl capable of ovecoming the entire world. Moreover, the triumph is assured even before the contest is begun, for patiences lives iwth the sorrows of the world and finds its delights in vexations...
Let us reflect, and we will see that our sufferings in this life are not at all in proportion to the greatness of Christ's sufferings, the gravity of our sins, the horror of the torments of hell, and the celestial reward...
Patience is a diamond which enables the soul to resist all adversity; a remedy which heals all wounds; and a buckler which protects against every attack...
~ Blessed Humbert of Romans
