What people don’t realize is
how much religion costs.
They think faith is a big electric blanket,
when of course, it is the cross.
--Flannery O’Connor
We’ve all got wounds. We all bear the stigmata. We’ve all got the wounds of the cross. Mine, for some strange reason, happen to be visible, but so what? You’ve got them, too. You’re carrying some. I can see them.
--St. Padre Pio
