The “airplane route” to patience is to go directly to divine remembrance through devotion and meditation. The slower “footpath” is the cultivation of virtues.

Prayer for the workplace: “God be my day planner today. Help me remember that You call all the meetings and that all work is for your sake. When I see my co-workers, I will think only of You. I will put them first, offering my service to You. The workplace will be my practice hall today.”
