Patience on Demand

Patience and Motherhood… Can we do both well?  How do we show the virtue of patience in a world that promotes instant gratification and on-demand living? In today’s episode, we begin our series on the Marian virtues by reflecting on Mary’s Heroic Patience and what this looks like in family life.  Sometimes our lack of patience reflects our need to be in control.  Practicing this virtue allows us to trust God, endure our trials, and persevere.
