On the basis of his work each person is fully entitled to consider himself a part owner of the great workbench at which he is working with everyone else.

Original sin is not only the violation of a positive command … but … attempts … to abolish fatherhood, destroying its rays which permeate the created world, placing in doubt the truth about God who is Love and leaving man with only a sense of the master-slave relationship.

Without wonder, men and women would lapse into deadening routine and little by little would become incapable of a life which is genuinely personal.

In Christ and through Christ man has acquired full awareness of his dignity, of the heights to which he is raised, of the surpassing worth of his own humanity, and of the meaning of his existence.
