Prayer

Patient Lord, we live in a world that places a high value on speed. Yet, we are often taught that patience is a virtue. Open our minds to your wisdom that we might rediscover the necessity and power of patience. Help us see that fast is not always the same as good or right. Strengthen us that we might be active in patience and patient in outcomes generated by the grace of God and the efforts of the human family. In confidence we pray. Amen.
