SAINT RITA OF CASCIA

“Don’t let the waves overwhelm you when your heart is upset by temptation. And yet because we are human, if the wind has driven us on and shaken our souls with passion, let us not despair; let us wake up Christ, and so sail on in a calm sea, and reach our home country.“

–Sermon 63
