A single Mass offered for oneself during life may be worth more than a thousand celebrated for the same intention after death.

Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved.

And indeed we believe you [God] to be something than which a greater cannot be conceived.

Spare me through your mercy, do not punish me through your justice.

I do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves. I do not seek to understand that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand. For I believe this also, that unless I believe, I shall not understand.

Therefore Lord God, you are more truly omnipotent, because you have no power through impotence and nothing can be against you.

Idleness is the enemy of the soul.
