"Consider that the love of divine charity
is so closely joined in the soul with perfect patience, that neither can leave
the soul without the other. For this reason (if the soul elect to love Me) she
should elect to endure pains for Me in whatever mode or circumstance I may send
them to her. Patience cannot be proved in any other way than by suffering, and
patience is united with love as has been said. Therefore bear yourselves with
manly courage, for, unless you do so, you will not prove yourselves to be spouses
of My Truth, and faithful children, nor of the company of those who relish the
taste of My honor, and the salvation of souls."
— St. Catherine Of Siena,
