“To bear with patience, wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.”

                                                               -Thomas Aquinas

Reflection:

Do I have a situation in my life that I should be standing up to protect the rights of another?  Is my quiet, seemingly patient attitude allowing someone else to be mistreated or maligned in any way?  I must pray for the wisdom and graces necessary to speak up with love and protect the wrongs being done to that person or persons.  It is my duty.
