Beatrice Portinari

"“I think what a wonderful thing life is, even in its most terrible aspects; and my soul is full of gratitude and love for God for this.”"

"“In my Calvary I am not desperate. I know that at the end of the way Jesus is waiting for me.”"

"“My days are not easy, they are hard, but sweet, because Jesus is with me, with my suffering, and gives me gentleness in loneliness and light in the darkness.”"

"“To God I offer all the flowers of the world that have blossomed under the sun.”"
