The devil is always discovering something novel against the truth.

Truth, which is simple and one, admits of no variety.

The faith by which we live shall never vary in any age . . . for one is the faith which sanctifies the Just of all ages.

As the world attracts us with its appearance, and abundance and variety, it is not easy to turn away from it unless in the beauty of things visible the Creator rather than the creature is loved; for, when He says, 'you shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and from all your mind, and from all your strength' (Mt. 22:37), He wishes us in nothing to loosen ourselves from the bonds of His love. And when He links the love of our neighbor also to this command, He enjoins on us the imitation of His own goodness, that we should love what He loves and do what He does.

The faith of those who live their faith is a serene faith. What you long for will be given you; what you love will be yours for ever.

The devil is always discovering something novel against the truth.

No one, however weak, is denied a share in the victory of the cross. No one is beyond the help of the prayer of Christ.
