The physical voice we use in prayer need not be great nor startling; even should we not lift up any great cry or shout, God will yet hear us.

Every soul that is born into flesh is soiled by the filth of wickedness and sin. . . . In the Church, baptism is given for the remission of sins, and, according to the usage of the Church, baptism is given even to infants.

What good does it do me if Christ was born in Bethlehem once if he is not born again in my heart through faith?

Where there is division, there is sin.
