“To enjoy interior peace, we must always reserve in our hearts amidst all affairs, as it were, a secret closet, where we are to keep retired within ourselves, and where no business of the world can ever enter.” St. Antoninus. (Fr. Alban Butler prefaces these words with the following remark: “The saint made...this answer, which the author of his life wished to see written in letters of gold:” from Butler’s “Lives of the Saints”, feast of St. Antoninus.)
