“Patience obtains all things.”- from St. Teresa of Avila’s Bookmark Prayer
(see prayer in full below)
“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.” - St. Francis
de Sales
You and your sibling both need the scissors. Your sibling is using them first. You patiently wait your turn.
You have a question to ask your teacher but she is talking. You raise your hand and patiently wait for her to call on you.
Your meal is sitting in front of you and you really want to start eating. But you can’t eat until your mom sits down and everyone says grace together. You sit patiently and do not eat yet.
St. Teresa's Bookmark Prayer
Let nothing disturb you;
Let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God.
God alone suffices.
