We need to pledge ourselves anew to the cause of Christ. We must capture the spirit of the early church. Wherever the early Christians went, they made a triumphant witness for Christ. Whether on the village streets or in the city jails, they daringly proclaimed the good news of the gospel.

Faith is the 'yes' of the heart, a conviction on which one stakes one's life.

We ought first to know that there are no good works except those which God has commanded, even as there is no sin except that which God has forbidden.

Cujus region, ejus rligio (Whoever's reign, his religion) ... He who owns the country owns the Church, and he that makes your laws for you has the right to make your religion for you.

Good works do not make a good man, but a good man does good works.

God our Father has made all things depend on faith so that whoever has faith will have everything, and whoever does not have faith will have nothing

We can mention only one point (which experience confirms), namely, that next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. No greater commendation than this can be found — at least not by us. After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music, namely, by proclaiming [the Word of God] through music.
