Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

O Master, make me chaste, but not yet!

God gives where he finds empty hands.

The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.

Beauty is the brilliance of truth.

If we did not have rational souls, we would not be able to believe.
