When They’re Against Us
May 19, 2020
DAILY READING
FIELD NOTES
Read the passage for today at least three times.
Patience can be most elusive when we face challenges, particularly when we are against others. Be it a spouse, or a child, or a co-worker. When we feel we have been treated unjustly, our desire for justice can really try our patience. How we react in the face of adversity often shows what fruit we are bearing.
QUESTIONS FOR THE FIELD
- When have you been treated unjustly? How did you react?
PRAYER GUIDE
Lord, may we react according to your Spirit when we come up against adversity. Amen.

-St. Teresa of Avila
