The Best Penance – St. Peter Damian

St. Peter Damian“The best penance is to have patience with the sorrows God permits. A very good penance is to dedicate oneself to fulfill the duties of everyday with exactitude and to study and work with all our strength.”


“I scourge both flesh and spirit because I know that I have offended in both flesh and spirit.”


“Do not be depressed. Do not let your weakness make you impatient. Instead, let the serenity of your spirit shine through your face. Let the joy of your mind burst forth.”


St. Peter Damian
