– (Referring to Saint Eustochia of Messina, Poor Clare): “ On the feast of Saint Andrew, Eustochia prepared to receive holy Communion, she wept as usual all day and night without ceasing… and beyond all her strength she was able to receive the Blessed Sacrament, and it seemed that her heart would break. When the time to eat arrived, she with great effort was able to go to the table. As the life of St. Andrew was being read, when it came to the place where Saint Andrew adored the Cross, she was not able to bear those devout words, and began to tremble and weep.” - From a letter of Sister Jacoba Pollicino, companion and biographer of Saint Eustochia
