QUOTATION: Consolation

You will be consoled according to the greatness of your sorrow and affliction; the greater the suffering, the greater will be the reward.

--St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi

QUOTATION: Suffering

I do not desire to die soon, because in Heaven there is no suffering. I desire to live a long time because I yearn to suffer much for the love of my Spouse.

--St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi

QUOTATION: Prayer

Prayer ought to be humble, fervent, resigned, persevering, and accompanied with great reverence. One should consider that he stands in the presence of a God, and speaks with a Lord before whom the angels tremble from awe and fear. 

--St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi
