Friendships Begun In This World Will Be

Be Patient With Everyone, But Above All With Yourself. I Mean Do Not Be Disheartened By Your Imperfections, But Always Rise Up With Fresh Courage. How Are We To Be Patient In Dealing With Our Neighbour's Faults If We Are Impatient In Dealing With Our Own? He Who Is Fretted By His Own Failings Will Not Correct Them. All Profitable Correction Comes From A Calm And Peaceful Mind.

Go To Your Confessor; Open Your Heart To Him; Display To Him All The Recesses Of Your Soul; Take The Advice That He Will Give You With The Utmost Humility And Simplicity. For God, Who Has An Infinite Love For Obedience, Frequently Renders Profitable The Counsels We Take From Others, But Especially From Those Who Are The Guides Of Our Souls.

Have Patience With All Things, But Chiefly Have Patience With Yourself. Do Not Lose Courage In Considering Your Own Imperfections But Instantly Set About Remedying Them -- Every Day Begin The Task Anew.

Have Patience With All Things, But, First Of All With Yourself.

Friendships Begun In This World Will Be Taken Up Again, Never To Be Broken Off.
