On patience

Site page

In your patience possess ye your souls.

(Luke 21: 19)

Patience is uninterrupted, unruffled, and calm.

Venerable St. Nikon of Optino

Be patient and endure all the suffering brought on by maliciousness, the full weight of labor, reproach, and slander, but most of all be afraid to despair, which is the most grievous sin.

Elder Michael (Pitkevitch) of Valaam
