Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.

Our heart is restless until it rests in You.

There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.

On the altar you are looking at the same thing as you saw there last night. You have not heard, however, what this is, what it signifies, or about the greatness of the reality of which it is a sacrament. Your eyes are looking at bread and cup. This is the evidence before your physical sight. But your faith must be instructed concerning it- this bread being Christ 's Body and the cup containing His Blood. Though perhaps these words may be enough to initiate faith, faith must be further instructed in accordance with the Prophet's words: 'Believe that you may understand'

He cannot have God for his Father who will not have the Church for his mother.

Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow.

When I seek you, my God, I seek a blessed life. I shall seek you, so that my soul may live.
