Saint AugustineIt was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation; but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.
Saint AugustineThe spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light; although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint AugustineIt was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
