The Lord withdraws when He is denied, and what is taken by the undeserving does not avail them unto salvation, since the saving grace is turned into ashes and holiness departs.

Our prayers and fastings are of less avail, unless they are aided by almsgiving.

No one is strong in his own strength, but he is safe by the grace and mercy of God.

May all Christians be found worthy of either the pure white crown of a holy life or the royal red crown of martyrdom.

If He prayed who was without sin, how much more it becometh a sinner to pray!

Since the baptismal rebirth takes place only with the one Bride of Christ, where could he be born who is not a son of the Church?

Whereas there can be but one Baptism, they think they can Baptize; they have abandoned the fountain of life, yet promise the life and grace of the waters of salvation. It is not cleansing which men find there, but soiling; their sins are not washed away, but only added to. That being "born again" does not bring forth sons to God but to the Devil. Born of a lie, they cannot inherit the things which Truth has promised; begotten by the faithless, they are deprived of the grace of faith.
