“True patience consists in bearing calmly the evils others do to us, and in not being consumed by resentment against those who inflict them. Those who only appear to bear the evils done them by their neighbors, who suffer them in silence while they are looking for an opportunity for revenge, are not practicing patience, but only make a show of it. Saint Paul writes that ‘love is patient and kind.’ It is patient in bearing the evils done to us by others, and it is kind in even loving those it bears with. Jesus tells us ‘Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.'” – St. Gregory the Great
