Quote of the Day from Catherine McAuley:
Keep away from your mind all impatience.
In her time there had to be may times when she was impatient. I think of the harshness of travel, the lack of cooperation from one of the priests, the slowness of one of the first sister artists, then inability of one of the superiors of one of her foundations to make decisions and the time it took for her novitiate.
Yet, she worked diligently to have patience.
Sometime in our instant world we lack that fine art of patience. We have such things as road rage, rudeness, inability to see the needs of others and the list goes on...
Today, I will work on patience. I will pause.. and reflect.... someone once said to put things in perspective...would it matter 100 years from now? ten years? Why get all bothered then, today? Patience...a rare virtue much in need today!
