"Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.

Luke 6:22-23

"The heavens are not pure in the sight of Him Whom I serve; how then shall I, a sinful man, stand before Him?"

- St. Nicholas of Tolentino
