"How ... strongly should we be drawn to Christ if we find our pleasure in truth, happiness, justice, eternal life: all of which Christ is!" Saint Thomas Aquinas

"Regard yourself as more vile and miserable in the sight of God because of your faults than any sinner whatsoever, no matter what his sins." Saint Vincent Ferrer

"The Glorious Virgin Mary...by the blessed fruit of her womb has saved a world condemned by the fall of our first parents." Pope Saint Pius V

"God is the proper name of Truth, as Truth is the abstract name of God." Lacordaire
