Beads Quote by Susan Sarandon
“When I grew up in the church, we were praying because the Communists were going to come over and hang you upside down on a cross, and I so wanted to be a good person, and I had these rosary beads that I would sleep with every night, and I just wanted the blessed Virgin to be on my side.”
![“My mother was raised very, very strict Catholic in the Midwest. There was so much fear and intimidation [in the faith]. So, growing up, I was always looking for my connection. I've found myself praying before meals, before bed; there's always been this gratitude for things that are bigger than me.” quote by Alicia Keys](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0d4/alicia-keys-1094_bed_my-mother-was-raised-very-very-strict-ca_527015.jpg)
