...a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean." And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately the leprosy left him.

Luke 5:12-13

"Fortitude is the disposition of soul which enables us to despise all inconveniences and the loss of things not in our power."

– St. Augustine
