So be patient
brothers /sisters
until the coming of the Lord. 

Look, the farmer waits for the valuable fruit of the land
patiently with it
until it receives the early rain and late rain. 

Be patient, you too,
and strengthen your hearts
as the coming of the Lord is near. 

Do not grumble,
brothers /sisters, 
against one another 
lest you be judged. 

Look, the judge stands at the door. 

As an example take,
brothers /sister
of suffering and patience
the prophets
who spoke in the name of the Lord. 

Look, we consider fortunate
brothers/ sisters
those who endured:
you have heard of Job
who endured.
and you see the goal of the Lord:
-the Lord is compassionate
and merciful. 

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

St Ignatius
