"So, in all, patience is discovered to be the most perfect virtue to have achieved -patience with others,
with oneself,
with life,
with God.
Nor is this state of soul due to a disregard of the circumstances that attend our time on earth, but to a more thorough appreciation of the terms of existence.
I see life fuller, enjoy it more.
It is the patience not of the wearied voluptuary, but of the enraptured lover, who is so sure of his love that he can afford to wait through all time for eternity."
~Fr. Bede Jarrett, O.P.
