St. Lydwine of Schiedam was a victim soul who suffered for the salvation of others and in reparation for their sins, who said: “No, there is but one thing now that I desire; it is; not to be deprived of my discomforts and pains.” When the Carnival was near, she cried: “Lord, revenge Thyself on me for the additional offenses which these feasts will inflict on Thee!” (Quoted in “Saint Lydwine of Schiedam” by J. K. Huysmans, tr. by Agnes Hastings, NIHIL OBSTAT, IMPRIMATUR, 1922)
