More Wisdom from Fr. Paolo Benanti, TOR, Professor Pontificia Univerita Gregoriana

If we look at real penance, then we will find that real penance is a state of the heart. It's not a series of acts. Holiness is a way to be, it's not a series of miracles that someone has done. So, when you see Saint Francis and you look at him, man of penance, you are to look to his heart, not to the actions that some people wrote to let us understand what was inside his heart.

Professor Pontificia Univerita Gregoriana
