With the Heart

Vide ut quod ore cantas, corde credas, et quod corde
credis, operibus comprobes.

Take heed that what you sing with your mouths you believe
in your hearts, and what you believe with your hearts you
show forth in your works.


                              Fourth Council of Carthage, 4^th Century

On the Dignity of Man Fully Alive

The glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God.
If the revelation of God through creation already brings life to all living
beings on the earth, how much more will the manifestation of the Father
by the Word bring life to those who see God.


                                                                                           Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

On the Eucharist

Without shame and without doubt, eat the flesh and drink the blood
(of Christ), if you are desirous of true life.
