Today we pray for an increase of the virtue of patience in [insert names]. This virtue, which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, helps us to remain calm and trust in God, rather than becoming frustrated and losing our temper when things do not go the way we expect them to. Patience allows us to think, say, and do the right thing in the right way at the right time.
St. Joachim and St. Anne exemplify the virtue of patience, as, according to tradition, they waited many years for
a child. Their patience was rewarded
with the great blessing of being the parents of the Virgin Mary.
Dear
Lord, through the prayers of St. Joachim and St. Anne, grant [insert names] an
increase of the virtue of patience, and that they may attain the salvation you
have promised to your people. Amen
