Poor human reason, when it trusts in itself, substitutes the strangest absurdities for the highest divine concepts

Laughter has been implanted in our soul, that the soul may sometime be refreshed.

If you say, "Would there were no wine" because of the drunkards, then you must say, going on by degrees, "Would there were no steel," because of the murderers, "Would there were no night," because of the thieves, "Would there were no light," because of the informers, and "Would there were no women," because of adultery.

The Holy Scriptures lead us to God and open the path to the knowledge of God.

How many there are who still say, 'I want to see His shape, His image, His clothing, His sandals.' Behold, you do see Him, you touch Him, you eat Him! You want to see His clothing. He gives Himself to you, not just to be seen but to be touched, to be eaten, to be received within .... Let all of you be ardent, fervent, enthusiastic. If the Jews stood, shoes on, staff in hand, and eating in haste, how much more vigilant should you be. They were about to go to Palestine; ... you are about to go to heaven.

Feeding the hungry is a greater work than raising the dead

Let us return from that Table like lions breathing out fire, terrifying to the devil!
