Why is it that we remember with difficulty and without difficulty forget? Learn with difficulty and without difficulty remain ignorant?

Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.

Whoever possesses God is happy.

When God is our strength, it is strength indeed; when our strength is our own, it is only weakness.

O Lord, grant that I may do Thy will as if it were my will, so that Thou mayest do my will as if it were Thy will.

I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?

What the universal Church holds, not as instituted [invented] by councils but as something always held, is most correctly believed to have been handed down by apostolic authority. Since others respond for children, so that the celebration of the sacrament may be complete for them, it is certainly availing to them for their consecration, because they themselves are not able to respond.
