The purpose of marriage is not to have pleasure and to be idle but to procreate and bring up children, to support a household. This, of course, is a huge burden full of great cares and toils. But you have been created by God to be a husband or a wife and that you may learn to bear these troubles.

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

Pray like it all depends on God, then when you are done, go work like it all depends on you.

Sin is essentially a departure from God.

God delights in our temptations and yet hates them. He delights in them when they drive us to prayer; he hates them when they drive us to despair.

Faith is a living, daring, confidence in God's grace.

Faith is under the left nipple.
