Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.

Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.

The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light; although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.

For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see?

Make me a captive Lord, then I shall be truly free.

For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you "today" never comes to an end: and yet our "today" does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply "today."

In what is necessary, unity; in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.
