If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not preceed all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.

Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves." (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472).

Love can be angry... with a kind of anger in which there is no gall, like the dove's and not the ravens.

All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.

To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things; to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.

The reward of patience Is patience.

God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.
