Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an angel.

For God loves saving, not condemning, and therefore He is patient with bad people, in order to make good people out of bad people.

The will is truly free, when it is not the slave of vices and sins.

Though there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.

Do not wander far and wide but return into yourself. Deep within man there dwells the truth.

It was not the visible sun, but its invisible Creator who consecrated this day for us, when the Virgin Mother, fertile of womb and integral in her virginity, brought him forth, made visible for us, by whom, when he was invisible, she too was created. A Virgin conceiving, a Virgin bearing, a Virgin pregnant, a Virgin bringing forth, a Virgin perpetual. Why do you wonder at this, O man?

God bestows more consideration on the purity of the intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves.
