Be constantly committed to prayer or to reading [Scripture]; by praying, you speak to God, in reading, God speaks to you.

Peter, in showing that the Church is one and that only those who are in the Church can be saved, said: "In the Ark of Noah certain persons, numbering only eight, were saved by water, which Baptism effects in like manner for you" (1 Peter 3:20). He proves and demonstrates that the solitary Ark of Noah was the figure of the One Church. If, at the time of this Baptism of the world anyone could have been saved without having been in the Ark of Noah, then he who is outside the Church could now be brought to life by Baptism.

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.

This supernatural bread and this consecrated chalice are for the health and salvation of mankind.

Baptism pertains to the Church alone.

When we pray to God with entire assurance, it is Himself who has given us the spirit of prayer.
