A Prayer for the Virtue of Patience

Patience is a virtue of the Lord:

He awaits the return of His children.

Forgive my trespasses Oh Lord Jesus,

For many times have I tested You.

I deserved the wrath of Your hand,

But You saw greater things for me:

Your patience has been enormous!

Grant me a droplet of such endurance,

That I may abolish my impious impatience,

Refraining from using unpleasant words,

And always reflecting Your serenity.

Great is the Lord Jesus in His ways!
