My dear brothers and sisters, today we reflect on the gift of forbearance, which is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Forbearance is the ability to endure difficult circumstances with grace and patience, and to persevere through trials without losing faith. In a world filled with instant gratification and impatience, it can be challenging to embody forbearance. However, when we allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, we can cultivate a spirit of patience that will sustain us through life’s challenges. Let us pray for the grace to embrace forbearance and trust in God’s timing.
