Patience
If you wish to gain patience, do not pray for it! For surely the Lord will give you plenty of trials for patience. Pray instead for wisdom, that you may understand, and then you will become patient.

Possess your soul
"By your patience you will gain possession of your souls.” – Luke 21:19
You must gain possession of your soul that you may give it to the Lord, for you cannot give what you do not have. The way to possess your soul is to gain the virtue of patience.

Diligence = love
The word diligence comes from the Latin diligere, to love. Therefore, the way to become diligent and gain the virtue of perseverence is to love your Lord deeply.

Holy generosity
Holy generosity does not consist in merely giving, but giving yourself. It is only this type of generosity, born of a pure heart of love, which can bring Christ to the world. He did not merely give healing, bread, teaching… He gave His entire self.

Last time was the last time
"When fighting temptation, the last time has to be the one before!” –St Josemaria Escriva
How often the devil convinces us to give in to temptation by conjoling us with “this will be the last time. Just one more cookie, one more look…” No! Answer him strongly, the last time was the last time.

Dumb devil
The devil will try to keep you from communicating. Do not let him! Persist in speaking from your heart. Do not be fooled into believing that it is better to say nothing, most especially in your intimate relationships! The dumb devil builds thick, impenetrable walls between you. You must always be sincere and honest, for then you will always live in Truth and avoid the dramas of misunderstanding.
