A Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents.

H. L. Mencken

This is me, a sinner on whom the Lord has turned his gaze. And this is what I said when they asked me if I would accept my election as pontiff. I am a sinner, but I trust in the infinite mercy and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I accept in a spirit of penance.

Pope Francis
