Lust desireth not procreation, but pleasure only.

Idleness is the enemy of the soul.

It is, therefore, not proper for God thus to pass over sin unpunished.

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.

O supreme and unapproachable light! O whole and blessed truth, how far art thou from me, who am so near to thee! How far removed art thou from my vision, though I am so near to thine! Everywhere thou art wholly present, and I see thee not. In thee I move, and in thee I have my being; and I cannot come to thee. Thou art within me, and about me, and I feel thee not.

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

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