“…He who possesses true virtue does not change nor is he disturbed by anything, like a rock in the midst of the sea beaten by raging waves. Let them despise you, let them slander you, let them mock you, let them call you hypocrites, false devotees: none of this takes away the peace of your soul; you love those who insult you just as much as those who praise you; do not cease, for this reason, to do them good and to protect them, even if they speak ill of you; continue in your prayers, in your confessions, in your communions, continue attending Holy Mass as if nothing had happened.”
St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars
