“Amen, amen, I say to you,
if anyone keep My word,
he will never see death.”

“Your purity of life, your devotion,
deserve and call for a reward
because you are acceptable
and pleasing to God.
Your purity of life must be made purer still,
by frequent buffetings,
until you attain perfect sincerity of heart.
If, from time to time, you feel the sword
falling upon you with double or treble force,
this also should be seen as sheer joy
and the mark of love!”
St Raymond of Peñafort (1175-1275)

little by little;
so, we are to make
