Sincerity
Sincerity and the truth are the basis of every virtue. ( Confucius )
Sanctity
" ...from early childhood as far back as I can remember, He gave me such a sense of His watchful presence that I would feel myself reproved for my smallest faults..." Blessed Mary McKillop in 1873
Suffering
Blessed are they who mourn: for they should be comforted. (Matthew 5:4 KJV)
"I do not desire to die soon, because in Heaven there is no suffering. I desire to live a long time because I yearn to suffer much for the love of my Spouse."
St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi
The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.
St. John of the Cross.
Time
Time brings all things to pass.
Trust
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)
A man who can not trust himself can never trust anyone else.
Truth
