We Have Been Given Hope

Redemption is offered to us in the sense that we have been given hope, trustworthy hope, by virtue of which we can face our present: the present, even if it is arduous, can be lived and accepted if it leads toward a goal, if we can be sure of this goal, and if this goal is great enough to justify the effort of the journey.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

A Remedy For Sin

As sin abounds in the human race, man needs a remedy for it. But no one can provide this remedy, except God alone, Who is able not only to move man’s will to good, so as to bring him back to the right order, but also to forgive the offense committed against Him; since an offense is not forgiven except by the person offended. 

 St. Thomas Aquinas

The more one understands the holiness of God, the more one understands the opposite of what is holy, namely, the deceptive masks of the devil.

Whose duty it is to teach should not teach what is contrary to the truth.
