Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.

The God of Israel is sometimes a God who hides Himself, but never a God who absents Himself; sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance.

The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!

None so blind, so deaf, as those that will not hear, that will not see.

Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.

Better to get up late and be wide awake then, than to get up early and be asleep all day.

It is more to the honor of a Christian by faith to overcome the world, than by monastical vows to retreat from it; more for the honor of Christ to serve him in the city, than to serve him in the cell.
