Ave Maria!— March’s Theme: Suffering
“Penance is not an exclusive privilege of the saints, neither is it an ‘error’ of medieval times, rather it is a duty, a specific duty for everyone, because no one is without sin. And it isn’t as though people began to go astray only during the medieval period, because, right from the first centuries of the Church, Christians, obedient to the commands of Christ, kept their flesh under restraint.” (SK #1028)
