Singing is a lover's thing.

He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.

Truth is not private property.

Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.

Within the Church, sins are forgiven in three ways: by baptism, by prayer, and by the greater humility of penance; yet God does not forgive sins except to the baptized.

In the Catholic Church, there are many other things which most justly keep me in her bosom. The consent of peoples and nations keeps me in the Church; so does her authority, inaugurated by miracles, nourished by hope, enlarged by love, established by age. The succession of priests keeps me, beginning from the very seat of the Apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after His resurrection, gave it in charge to feed His sheep (Jn 21:15-19), down to the present episcopate.

The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
