(Triptych)

“If you want to seek our stone, be without sin, persevere in virtue, let your spirit be enlightened with the love of light and truth.

Take the resolution, after having acquired the divine gift that you desire, to reach out to the poor mired in the mud, to help and to raise up those who are in misfortune”.

Basil Valentine (1394-1450), German Benedictine monk and alchemist.
