When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.

No one may forsake their neighbors when they are in trouble. Everybody is under obligation to help and support their neighbors as they would themselves like to be helped.

Angels are our true and trusty servants, performing offices and works that one poor miserable mendicant would be ashamed to do for another.
