Humility is the beginning of true intelligence.
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.
We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.
Involvement in public life provides the opportunity to shape our manners in accordance with civil justice.
We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.
