"I am glad to have to manifest all the gratuitous favors which Jesus has bestowed on my soul.

I fully recognize that there is nothing in me capable of attracting the gaze of this most tender Jesus of ours. His goodness alone has filled my soul with many good things.... He follows me everywhere, revives my life poisoned by sin, disperses the dense clouds which had enveloped my soul after I had sinned."  -St. Pio of Pietrelcina
