Homily For The19th Sunday Of Ordinary Time, Year A
In Patience and Fath, let us Walk with the Lord Readings: 1st: I Kg 19:9. 11-13; Ps 84:9-14; 2nd: Rom 9:1-5; Gos: Mt 14:22-33 This brief reflection was written by Fr. Njoku Canice Chukwuemek...
It is difficult to appreciate how important this tolerance is. There is no way in which people will always agree. If we don't have this tolerance, we prevent good things from happening, we will always be involved in squabbles, deprive ourselves of the peace of mind that we need so much, discourage others and often discourage ourselves. If, on the other hand, we allow each person to see things in their own way and according to their own character and mentality, then great good will come from it. Several will make mistakes and act imprudently, but with time, they will learn from experience and each will perfect his own style of being.
Libermann to Lossedat, 13.04.1846. NDVIII, p.109-115

Vous ne sauriez croire combien la (cette) tolérance est importante. Il est impossible que, les hommes soient d'accord ensemble. Si on n'a pas cette tolérance, on arrête le bien, on est toujours dans les brouilleries, on se prive du repos dont on a besoin soi-même, on décourage les autres, et on se décourage bien souvent soi-même. Si, au contraire, on laisse faire chacun selon sa manière de concevoir les choses, selon son caractère, la trempe de son esprit et toute sa manière d'être, il en résultera un bien considérable. Plusieurs feront des fautes, des imprudences, mais, avec le temps l'expérience viendra, et chacun se perfectionnera dans sa manière d'être

Não imagina quanto esta tolerância é importante. É impossível que os homens estejam todos de acordo. Se não há tolerância, deixamos de fazer bem, andamos sempre de relações cortadas, não podemos ter o repouso de que precisamos, desanimamos os outros e muitas vezes também nós próprios desanimamos. Se, pelo contrário, deixamos que cada um aja segundo a sua maneira de conceber as coisas, segundo o seu carácter, a têmpera do seu espírito e a sua maneira de ser, daí resultará um grande bem. Muitos cometerão faltas, imprudências, mas, com o tempo a experiência virá e cada um se aperfeiçoará na sua maneira de ser.
