The most important thing is...

Do not worry about the Lenten exercises. The most important thing is of course the Holy Mass and Jesus, who includes us in His blessed prayer and purifies all the wretchedness of our hearts. Ask Him earnestly for His blood to fall like rain over all five continents. And then the heart will grow to a size appropriate to the size of the Church, the size of the world.

(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
