patience (in the face of adversity) n.: longanimity

Friday, May 28, 2021 by Peter Leave a Comment

What my Christian experience teaches me [is that] forgiveness does ideally come first and can, with … longanimity, yield a rich harvest of justice and peace in the way it facilitates the righting of wrongs and the reconciliation of the estranged. (Michael Hurley, A Sober Truth Must Be Faced About Lack of Forgiveness, The Irish Times, 10/24/1995, p. 12.)
