The Sign of the Cross
I wish you a successful battle and unconquerable courage until death,so that in heaven you may place the crowns you have earned at the feet of Jesus.Sanctity is the fruit of Sacrifice;It is a death, and a new birth;the death of the old man, the birth of the new.There is no death without its suffering, no childbirth without its pangs.
—Bl Elisabetta Renzi & Abbe Alfred Monnin

I wish you a successful battle and unconquerable courage until death,
so that in heaven you may place the crowns you have earned at the feet of Jesus.
Sanctity is the fruit of Sacrifice;
It is a death, and a new birth;
the death of the old man, the birth of the new.
There is no death without its suffering, no childbirth without its pangs.

Bl Elisabetta Renzi & Abbe Alfred Monnin
