Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.

But know that to serve God is nothing else than to serve your neighbor and do good to him in love, be it a child, wife, servant, enemy, friend....If you do not find yourself among the needy and the poor, where the Gospel shows us Christ, then you may know that your faith is not right, and that you have not yet tasted of Christ's benevolence and work for you.

One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.

One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.

What are the things we should pray for? First, our personal troubles...The greatest trouble we can ever know is thinking that we have no trouble for we can become hard-hearted and insensible to what is inside of us.

Whatever we make the most of is our God.

It is a tremendously hard thing to pray aright, yea, it is verily the science of all sciences.
