THE CIRCLE OF PATIENCE / by Joe Castorino

“Patience is the companion of wisdom” – St. Augustine of Hippo



Fear is the root of all sin:

Fear leads to impatience,

Impatience leads to all vice;

But, on the other hand, 

Patience leads to self-control,

Patience leads to gentleness,

Patience leads to faithfulness,

Patience leads to generosity,

Patience leads to kindness,

Patience leads to peace,

Patience leads to joy,

Patience leads to love,

And then, coming full circle,

Perfect love casts out all fear.
