, I think what a wonderful thing life is, even in its most terrible aspects; and my soul is full of gratitude and love for God for this.
In my Calvary I am not desperate. I know that at the end of the way Jesus is waiting for me.
My days are not easy, they are hard, but sweet, because Jesus is with me, with my suffering, and gives me gentleness in loneliness and light in the darkness.

Beatrice di Folco Portinari lived in Florence in the late 13th century, her life ending on June 8 or 19, 1290. Dante Alighieri made her the central figure of his Vita Nuova and later positioned her as his guide through Paradiso in the Divine Comedy, where she also appears at the conclusion of Purgatorio. In his epic she doesn't represent herself - she symbolizes divine grace and theology, a real woman turned into allegory. The identification between the historical Beatrice and Dante's muse is widely accepted, though the actual scope of their acquaintance remains unclear.
