Episode 57 -- Imitation of Christ III.19 -- On Bearing Injuries and How to Tell Whether you Are Really Patient

We read about the need to bear injuries well. Patience develops in our souls as we face trials and difficulties. The person who truly wants to become patient like Christ must face many such trials. Patience is a crown that is won at a great price. The secret is to remember that others have even more trials and that God's Providence guides all things. Let us not focus so much on secondary causes of our sufferings. Let us think of the Primary Cause of all things who works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
