10. _Faith_ will, as St. Paul says, stop the mouths of lions, and more than
this, it will, he says, set before our eyes for our loving contemplation
and imitation Jesus Christ Himself, overwhelmed with insults and calumnies,
yet silent, unmoved, as one who hears not and is dumb.
11. _Hope_ will hold out before you an imperishable crown, the reward of
your trials and sufferings which endure but for a moment.
12. _Charity_, last of all, will come to you and abide with you--charity,
patient and sweet, benign and yielding, believing all, hoping all, enduring
all, ready and willing to suffer all.
The more we value our eternal salvation the more heartily shall we welcome
suffering.
