"For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time
that cannot be forced; nine months must go by for the birth of a human child; to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research. To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting.
-Pope John Paul II
For Reflection:
According to this quote, how does God use patience as an instrument to work His greatest wonders? How does this help me to appreciate the time between a prayer and its answer? A desire and its manifestation? A vision and its realization? 
Section Five: The Perils of Worldly Attachments
"In this world we must not become attached to anything - not even things the most innocent, for they fail us at the moment when we are least expecting it. The eternal alone can satisfy us."
-St. Therese of Lisieux
