One day when Thomas Aquinas was preaching to the local populace on the love of God, he saw an old woman listening attentively to his every word. And inspired by her eagerness to learn more about her God whom she loved so dearly, he said to the people: It is better to be this unlearned woman, loving God with all her heart, than the most learned theologian lacking love.

Beware of the person of one book.

God destines us for an end beyond the grasp of reason.

Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.

Give, expecting nothing there of.

A song is the exultation of the mind dwelling on eternal things, bursting forth in the voice.

The truth of the Christian faith surpasses the capacity of reason.
