Custom is second nature.

Let us therefore yield ourselves and bow to the authority of the Holy Scriptures, which can neither err nor deceive.

If faith fails, prayer perishes.

Sin is to a nature what blindness is to an eye. The blindness of an evil or defect which is a witness to the fact that the eye was created to see the light and, hence, the very lack of sight is the proof that the eye was meant... to be the one particularly capable of seeing the light. Were it not for this capacity, there would be no reason to think of blindness as a misforture.

Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.

It is easy to want things from the Lord and yet not want the Lord Himself, as though the gift could ever be preferable to the Giver.

Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.
