O eternal truth and true love and beloved eternity! You are my God; to you I sigh by day and by night. And when I first knew you, you raised me up so that I could see that there was something to see and that I still lacked the ability to see it. And you beat back the weakness of my sight, blazing upon me with your rays, and I trembled in love and in dread.

Grace alone brings about every good work in us.

Blessed is he who devotes his life to great and noble ends, and who forms his well-considered plans with deliberate wisdom.

He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king.

The bread that you see on the altar is the Body of Christ as soon as it is sanctified by God's word. The chalice, or better what is contained in the chalice, is the Blood of Christ as soon as it is sanctified by God's word

Eternity is the now that does not pass away.

The verdict of the world is conclusive.
