“You ask me whether I am in good spirits. How could I not be so? As long as Faith gives me strength I will always be joyful. Sadness ought to be banished from Catholic souls... the purpose for which we have been created shows us the path; even if strewn with many thorns, it is not a sad path. It is joyful even in the face of sorrow.” IfsGivingLongHas BeensSoulShowsInspirationFacesSpiritPurposeFaithAsksPathSadnessOughtSorrowGive MeCatholicChristian InspirationalAsk MeJoyfulThornsGive Me Strength Author:Pier Giorgio Frassati
