Meditation of the day...IMITATION OF CHRIST...

BEARING WITH THE FAULTS OF OTHERS (part one)

UNTIL God ordains otherwise, a man ought to bear patiently whatever he cannot correct in himself and in others. Consider it better thus -- perhaps to try your patience and to test you, for without such patience and trial your merits are of little account. Nevertheless, under such difficulties you should pray that God will consent to help you bear them calmly. (as a mom this is where I need help the most...I need to pray for the graces to bear trials calmly and not freak out)

If, after being admonished once or twice, a person does not amend, do not argue with him but commit the whole matter to God that His will and honor may be furthered in all His servants, for God knows well how to turn evil to good. (I am trying to work on this with teenagers) Try to bear patiently with the defects and infirmities of others, whatever they may be, because you also have many a fault which others must endure. (I have enough vices in my own life than to worry about my neighbors)

THY WILL BE DONE!!!+JMJ+
