True holiness does not mean a flight from the world; rather, it lies in the effort to incarnate the Gospel in everyday life, in the family, at school and at work, and in social and political involvement.

Prayer finds its source in God's holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

Once the truth is denied to human beings, it is pure illusion to try to set them free. Truth and freedom either go together hand in hand or together they perish in misery.

Beneath the Sacred Host, Christ is contained, the Redeemer of the world

Following Christ, the Church seeks the truth, which is not always the same as the majority opinion.

The Eucharist is the full realization of the worship which humanity owes to God, and it cannot be compared to any other religious experience.... The risen Lord ... calls the faithful together to give them the light of His Word and the nourishment of His Body as the perennial sacramental wellspring of redemption. The grace flowing from this wellspring renews mankind, life, and history.
