Patience, the Forgotten Virtue that Gains All

Is patience a virtue related to sanctity? Can it be a magnet for grace? Is our impatience for God's promises a sin? What does patience have to do with those closest to God? Has patience some attributes of holiness and vice versa?In this short essay, the author based on his research about many literary sources will try to answer these questions to understand the value of patience in our own lives, and how its absence in the form of impatience has been a burden for our religious behaviors and our full spiritual development.It also maintains that patience is a gift of God designed to break down Satan's control of our expectations of God's promises on this earth by promoting impatience in our everyday interactions. The author suggests for the reader some activities as well, to properly receive and build patience in our lives as a very valuable resource for our redemption.
