Maria, what can I give you to make you happy? If I give you my will, I fear you will despise it because it does not align with you. I would give you reason, but it is not enlightened. I would give you memory, but it forgets benevolence; if I give you feeling, it is not pure. I offer you the heart of your Only Begotten! If anyone can give you a greater gift, let them give it to you!
(Maria Magdalena de’ Pazzi /1566–1607/, Probatione II)
