"May Jesus comfort you in all your afflictions.
May He sustain you in dangers, watch over you
always with His grace, and indicate the safe path
that leads to eternal salvation. And may He render
you always dearer to His Divine Heart and always
more worthy of Paradise. Amen"

-St. Pio of Pietrelcina (1887 - 1968)
