The most beautiful credo is that which comes from your lips, in darkness, in sacrifice, in pain, in supreme effort of an unbending will for good.   It is this which like a strong bolt of lightning penetrates   the darkness of the soul; it is this which in a flash of tempest lifts you and leads you to God. (St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina). Psalm 14 Psalm 13
