Hello my sisters,

Brothers,

And non-binary siblings.

For today and tomorrow's meditations,

We're going to focus on the specific spiritual fruit of patience.

Let us begin by being still,

By adopting an attitude of non-judgment,

And by embracing a spirit of peace and loving kindness.

And now,

Let's meditate upon some words from scripture.

See how the farmer waits patiently for the precious fruits of the earth,

Waiting with patience until the crops receive the rains.

Be patient,

Therefore,

My sisters,

Brothers,

And non-binary siblings.

Notice the farmer,

How the farmer waits for the precious fruits of the earth.

The farmer waits with patience until the crops receive the rains,

Until the crops produce fruit,

Until the crops produce harvest.

And non-binary siblings.

Be patient.

Wait for the crops to receive the rains.

Wait for your crops to receive sunlight.

Wait for your crops to produce a harvest.

Wait for your crops to receive sunlight.
