I believe that the soul consists of its sufferings. For the soul that cures its own sufferings dies. – Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
There are people and nations, Mother, that I would like to say to you by name. I entrust them to you in silence, I entrust them to you in the way that you know best. – Pope John Paul II
