When we are overcome by some evil will, should we not tremble before the presence of the choirs of angels that surround us?
Hilary of PoitiersIn this we see the wondrous virtue of the Lord: that the power dwelling in His body should communicate to perishable things the efficacy to heal, and that the divine activity should issue forth even from the hem of His garment. For God is not perceptible by the senses, to be enclosed within a body. The assumption of a body did not limit the nature of His power; but for our redemption His power took upon it the frailty of our body.
Hilary of PoitiersThe utter folly of our time is lamentable, that men should think to assist God with human help and to protect the Church of Christ by worldly ambition.
Hilary of PoitiersHowever great a sinner may have been, if he shows himself devout to Mary he will never perish.
