There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

Equality of possessions is no doubt right, but, as men could not make might obey right, they have made right obey might.

The Church limits her sacramental services to the faithful. Christ gave Himself upon the cross a ransom for all.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

Lord, help me to do great things as though they were little, since I do them with your power; And little things as though they were great, since I do them in your name!
