“A deceased Benedictine nun appeared in glory to a certain person, and said, that she was in Heaven, and in the enjoyment of perfect happiness; but that, if she could desire anything, it would be to return to life, and to suffer affliction, in order to merit an increase of glory. And she added, that, to acquire the glory which corresponded to a single ‘Ave Maria,’ she would be content to suffer till the day of judgement, the long and painful sickness which brought her to death.” — St Alphonsus Liguori
