“Who could ever soften this heart of mine, which is harder than flint or adamant, but you alone, O Lord! You, O God of mercies, who could draw fountains of water from a rock, and raise up sons of Abraham out of stones, could change a stony heart into one of flesh.”  St. Francis Borgia: —Fr. Alban Butler (Lives of the Saints, 1866 ed., Vol. X, October 10, “St. Francis Borgia, Confessor”)
