I've obviously never read it, but I did watch an Italian documentary series! Which then reminded me of Lisetta (AKA "Italian Lisa"). She would occasionally ask for a clarification about exactly how we translated something. Turns out LOL my little neighbor had terminal leukemia the whole time 
. She was so fricking hardcore that she was putting in questions about how to interpret stuff and we didn't notice it was on her deathbead.
Anyway the idea of going on this journey literally to heck and back for the woman that you love, that appeals to me.
The American movie "To Heck and Back" where Audie Murphy stars as himself is pretty good. Probably the best in terms of I'm watching this with my dad and he's saying "yeah, they got that right".
various catholic things
Sometimes people things and you get so goddarn fricking exhauseted and then you realize you can't even walk anymore

"The world is in flames. Are you impelled to put them out? Look at the Cross. From the open Heart gushes the Blood of the Savior. This extinguishes the flames of heck. [My fellow Carmelites,] make your heart free by the faithful fulfillment of your vows; then the flood of divine love will be poured into your heart until it overflows and becomes fruitful to all the ends of the earth.".
–St. Teresa Benedicta a Cruce (St. Edith Stein)
