Above all we must consider what God will require of us in His judgement, what explanation of our actions He will demand, so that we may arrange our lives to accord with His judgement and not with our own inclination.
St. Ignatius Loyola
We must either give up the belief in the Church as a divine institution altogether, or we must recognize it in that communion of which the Pope is the head. With him alone and round about him are found the claims, the prerogatives, and duties which we identify with the kingdom set up by Christ. We must take things as they are; to believe in a Church, is to believe in the Pope. And thus this belief in the Pope and his attributes, which seems so monstrous to Protestants, is bound up with our being Catholics at all; as our Catholicism is with our Christianity.
St. John Henry Newman
Let the mouth also fast from disgraceful speeches and railings. For what does it profit if we abstain from fish and fowl and yet bite and devour our brothers and sisters? The evil speaker eats the flesh of his brother and bites the body of his neighbor.
St. John Chrysostom
For a kind soul hath no hell but sin.
Julian of Norwich
O God, our refuge and our strength, look down with favor upon Thy people who cry to Thee; and through the intercession of the glorious and Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Joseph, her Spouse, of Thy Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the Saints, do Thou mercifully and graciously hear the prayers which we pour forth for the conversion of sinners and for the freedom and exaltation of Holy Mother Church through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
