Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologiae:
Prayer
Instructing the ignorant
Counseling
Comforting
Reproving the reprobate
Pardoning injuries against ourselves
Bearing with the annoying: "Thirdly, in respect of the result of an inordinate act, on account of which the sinner is an annoyance to those who live with him or her, despite his or her intention; in which case the remedy is applied by bearing with them, especially with regard to those who sin out of weakness ... and not only as regards their being infirm and consequently troublesome on account of their unruly actions, but also by bearing any other burdens of theirs with them."
