I therefore command all my Brothers, those living now and those to come in the future, to venerate the Holy Mother of God, whom we always implore to be our Protectress, to praise her at all times, in all circumstances of life, with all the means in their power and with the greatest devotion and submission.

For it is in giving that we receive.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

We adore Thee most holy Lord Jesus Christ, here in all Thy Churches, which are in the whole world, because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world

Make me an instrument of thy peace.

Nor did demons crucify Him; it is you who have crucified Him and crucify Him still, when you delight in your vices and sins.
