“A Catholic cannot help but be happy; sadness should be banished from their souls. Suffering is not sadness, which is the worst disease. This disease is almost always caused by atheism, but the end for which we are created guides us along life’s pathway, which may be strewn with thorns, but is not sad. It is happy even through suffering.”
-Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

“The times we are going through are difficult because cruel persecution of the Church is raging.

Not even the gates of hell can prevail against her.”
-Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
