Let us pray God to give us all graces; and while, in the first place, we pray that He would make us holy, really holy, let us also pray Him to give us the beauty of holiness, which consists in tender and eager affection towards our Lord and Saviour: which is, in the case of the Christian, what beauty of person is to the outward man, so that through God's mercy our souls may have, not strength and health only, but a sort of bloom and comeliness; and that as we grow older in body, we may, year by year, grow more youthful in spirit.

John Henry Newman — John Henry Newman, B.D., Parochial and Plain Sermons, new edition, vol. VII (London and New York: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1891), Sermon X, "The Crucifixion," p. 134
