“Love is a good disposition of the soul by which one prefers no being to the knowledge of God.”
“Love is a holy state of the soul, disposing it to value the knowledge of God above all created things.”
“He who loves God will certainly love his neighbor as well.”
“Detachment begets love. Hope in God begets detachment.”
“The church of God is like a human being, having the sanctuary as its soul, and the nave as its body.”
“Conversely, the human being is a mystical church.”
“…and God became man in order to save lost man.”
“…the blessed end for which all things are ordained.”
“It is the mystery which circumscribes all the ages.”
“For the Word of God wills always and in all things to accomplish the mystery of his embodiment.”
