He who has heard the Word of God can bear his silences.

God will not be outdone in generosity.

What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.

Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.

God freely created us so that we might know, love, and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever. God's purpose in creating us is to draw forth from us a response of love and service here on earth, so that we may attain our goal of everlasting happiness with him in heaven.

... we ought even to hold as a fixed principle that what I see white I believe to be black, if the superior authorities define it to be so.
