Love and do as you will.

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

Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.

A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.

Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
