Quotes The case of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux powerfully underscores the fact that, by the grace of the Lord, death must, as far as possible, be a voluntary act, undertaken as a deliberate and consummate offering to the Lord, because – as has been said so many times – it is the supreme act of our lives, the act for which we live our lives. From Omelie del tempo di Pasqua, Paoline, 2007, p. 107. Quotes about (About the politicians who will go down in the history of the Christian Democracy) Dossetti, De Gasperi, but I could also add Piccioni, La Pira and Moro. I have never seen anyone in the party of that calibre, with that character, with that background, again. Amintore Fanfani, from an interview by Mauro Anselmo, Caro Mino guai se fallisci. Così ti direbbe De Gasperi, La Stampa, 25 June 1993. A great friend and, of course, a mentor. I was the first to find out that he was going to become a priest.
