"If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Luke 11:13

“When you pray, hear Mass, sit at table, engage in business and when at bedtime you remove your clothes— at all times crave that by the pain which He felt when He was stripped just before His crucifixion, He may strip us of our evil habits of mind. Thus, naked of earthly things, we may also embrace the cross.”

- St Francis Borgia

"God can kiss us with a healing because God is wounded by our pain.”

- St Daniel Comboni
