A panel of the painted ceiling of St. Michael's Cathedral depicting a lamb atop a book. Christ is the Word and the Lamb.
To prepare oneself constantly for martyrdom, and accept it without a shadow of reluctance, like the Divine Lamb - in Jesus, through Jesus, for Jesus - I must try and live as if I were to die a martyr today. Every minute I must imagine I am going to be martyred this very evening.
- Blessed Charles de Foucauld
Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est accipere virtutem, et divinitatem, et sapientiam, et fortitudinem, et honorem!
