Self-discipline and patience
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Each of us would like to learn patience. It is clear to everyone how important patience is for salvation. Therefore, we need to understand how it is born, nurtured, and strengthened. The holy fathers have revealed to us this mystery, possessing which they themselves endured attacks from demons, from the world, and from their own flesh: in order to acquire patience, one must learn self-restraint. This is taught to us by St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) in his article "On Patience," included in the first part of the book. Bright, soul-stirring examples of Christian self-restraint can be found in his "The Arena." The second part of the collection provides examples and fruits of self-restraint from the lives of Christians who are contemporary to us. We hope that this small work will help many of us learn one of the most important Christian virtues - self-restraint, from which patience is born.
