Day 16 Admonition 13

Day 16. Admonition 13 Of Patience. How much interior patience and humility a servant of God may have cannot be known so long as he is contented 1 But when the time comes that those who ought to please him go against him, as much patience and humility as he then shows, so much has he and no more.	We might say “ ‘When the chips are down” then our’ true colours will show’” We can cope fairly well when everything runs along smoothly and everyone else pitches in and does the right thing by us. It is a different matter when they don’t then people see us, possibly, at our worse.
1 Cod O. reads “so long as he enjoys everything according to his wish and necessity.”	This, Francis, tells us is the true measure of ourselves.
