“Lucia tells us that life is meant to be given. You have lived this in the extreme form of martyrdom, but the value of the gift of self is universal: it is the secret of true happiness.

And this can also be understood as the secret of the name Lucia: a person is luminous to the extent that he is a gift to others. And every person, in reality, is a precious gift.”
