Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 10 2006
Date: December 9, 2006 08:34 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Cyprian:

"Patience is a precept for salvation given us by our Lord our teacher:
Whoever endures to the end will be saved. And again: If you persevere in
my word, you will truly be my disciples; you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free. Dear brethren, we must endure and persevere if we
are to attain the truth and freedom we have been allowed to hope for;
faith and hope are the very meaning of our being Christians, but if faith
and hope are to bear their fruit, patience is necessary. We do not seek
glory now, in the present, but we look for future glory, as Saint Paul
instructs us when he says: By hope we were saved. Now hope which is seen
is not hope; how can a man hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what
we do not see, we wait for it in patience. Patient waiting is necessary if
we are to be perfected in what we have begun to be, and if we are to
receive from God what we hope for and believe. Paul warns us not to grow
weary in good works through impatience, not to be distracted or overcome
by temptations and so give up in the midst of our pilgrimage of praise and
glory, and allow our past good deeds to count for nothing because what was
begun falls short of completion." (From a Treatise on the value of
patience [Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
