Openness or willingness to experience new things is important for a disciple. Patience as well.
 
a “disciple” of Jesus should have faith in the Magisterium and obedience to it
 
Obedience to God’s ways and teachings and not compromising on them. (Matt 22:37-38)
Minister to the world. (Matt 22:39, Rom 12)

Saint Paul promoted praying for people. So that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened. Verses 17-21
 
God’s will is one, but it applies to us in two ways.

God’s guiding will (also called God’s sovereign will or declarative will) is Him telling us what He wants us to do through His commandments found in Scripture and the teachings of His Church as well as the inspirations He gives us through our reason, intuition, the events that happen to us, and the people around us.

God’s permissive will (also called the will of God’s good pleasure) is everything that happens to us by God’s allowing or preventing of the consequences of everybody’s actions (more often the former, so that we learn) and also by letting the laws of nature run their courses or not (again, more often the former, for He is a God of order, not chaos; that’s why miracles are rare).

Therefore, the two behaviors God’s disciples should have are (1) to do good according to God’s sovereign will, and (2) to suffer well by rejoicing always and giving thanks for God’s good pleasure for us, no matter what it was.
See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:15-18)

All the science of the Saints is included in these two things: To do, and to suffer. And whoever had done these two things best, has made himself most saintly. (St. Francis de Sales)

The fruit of the Spirit is

love
joy
peace
long suffering
gentleness
meekness
goodness
temperance
faith

Against such there is no law (Sunday school songs are a wonderful treasure)
 
To be open and loving toward people. Have your heart open when listening and speaking to those who want to" Come. to Jesus" and at the same time radiate the love that one should have as being a disciple of Jesus… I would like to believe that God’s love works through me by being able to share with others what God has instilled in me…by virtue of His only Begotten Son. God Bless::🦋🦋.
 
Generous forgiveness and slowness to anger, which is easier said than done
