When we pray to God with entire assurance, it is Himself who has given us the spirit of prayer.
CyprianIf a murder is committed privately it is considered a crime. But if it happens with the authority of the state, they call it courage.
CyprianMay all Christians be found worthy of either the pure white crown of a holy life or the royal red crown of martyrdom.
CyprianPersevere in labors that lead to salvation. Always be busy in spiritual actions. In this way, no matter how often the enemy of our souls approaches, no matter how many times he may try to come near us, he'll find our hearts closed and armed against him.
CyprianWhereas 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.
Cyprian
