Inflamed\u00a0with love for us, he came down from heaven to redeem us. For our sake\u00a0he endured every torment of body and soul and shrank from no bodily\u00a0pain. He himself gave us an example of perfect patience and love. We,\u00a0then, are to be patient in adversity. Put aside your hatred and\u00a0animosity. Take pains to refrain from sharp words. If they escape your\u00a0lips, do not be ashamed to let your lips produce the remedy, since\u00a0they have caused the wounds. Pardon one another so that later on you\u00a0will not remember the injury. The recollection of an injury is itself\u00a0wrong. It adds to our anger, nurtures our sin, and hates what is good.\u00a0It is a rusty arrow and poison for the soul. It puts all virtue to\u00a0flight. It is like a worm in the mind: it confuses our speech and\u00a0tears to shreds our petitions to God. It is foreign to charity: it\u00a0remains planted in the soul like a nail. It is wickedness that never\u00a0sleeps, sin that never fails. It is indeed a daily death.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"devotion\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1680766691\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Be Converted With A Sincere Heart\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From St. Francis de Paola: \u00a0 Fix your minds on the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
