Beyond our grasp, He chose to come within our grasp. Existing before time began, He began to exist at a moment in time.

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

The Church is a virgin, the bride of one Spouse, Who is Christ, and this Church does not allow herself to be violated by any error; so that, throughout the whole world there may be for us one uncorruptedness of a single chaste communion.

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.

He that sees another in error and endeavors not to correct it, testifies himself to be in error.

The cross of Christ is the true ground and chief cause of Christian hope.

The birthday of the Lord is the birthday of peace.
