“Stand fast in the faith, and love one another, all of you, and be not offended at my sufferings.
- Saint Perpetua

The best penance is to have patience with the sorrows God permits. A very good penance is to dedicate oneself to fulfill the duties of everyday with exactitude and to study and work with all our strength.
-Saint Peter Damian

However tired and physically worn out I am, I will go with joy to that land;  with joy I depart for the sake of the Christian faith.
-Saint Cyril
