St. Andrew Corsini, the night of his spiritual conversion: ”Glorious Virgin Mother,” he said, “behold me, a ravening wolf, and full of iniquity, who most humbly beseech you that, as you did bring forth the Lamb without spot, whose blood hath redeemed and purified us, so He may in such wise purify and change my wolfish nature, that I may become a tame and docile sheep, to serve and follow you all the days of my life in your most holy order.” (Cited in a work entitled ”Anecdotes and Incidents, ecclesiastical and religious” pub. 1858 by Burns and Lambert)
