The saints and friends of Christ served the Lord in hunger and thirst; in cold and nakedness; in labour and weariness; in watchings and fastings; in prayers and holy meditations; in persecutions and many reproaches.
-Bk. I, ch. viii.

A priest had said in a letter to her that Our Lady had not experienced physical suffering.
"Looking at Our Lady this evening, I realized that this was not true. She suffered in body as well as in soul. She suffered from the fatigue of her journeys, from cold and heat, from hunger and weariness. She often fasted. She knows only too well what it is to suffer."
-Novissima Verba
