Patience, Ok?

Patience, in the latin, it comes from patientia, comes from the word patior. Perseverancis is a treatise wrtten by saint augustine. The gift of perseverance means that when we we die in a state of grace. It entails a holding out to the end. We seek to cultivate this virtue through prayer, by vigilance, by fasting and by sacrifice. And we need to be ready like a good soldier, willing to persevere in order to be on the right side of god.
