Excerpt

"Often the thought comes to me to go to local schools, shouting out loud, like a man who has lost his judgment, and especially at the University of Paris. In the Sorbonne, I would like to repeat to all those who have more science than willingness to try to take advantage of it. How many souls do not know the way of Glory and go to hell because of your negligence!" Letters to the Fathers and brothers of the Society of Jesus at Rome. L.

"Great God, who, being from all eternity, wanted to produce in time all that is outside of you, in order to manifest your adorable perfections to us, remember that the souls of the infidels are the work of your hands and that "They have the honor of being your images. You see, however, my Lord, that in contempt of your name, Hell fills up every day with these miserable and unfortunate creatures. Please consider the deserve the Blood that Jesus Christ shed and the very cruel death that he suffered to save them. Do not allow, my God, that your Son will be ignored and despised of these barbarian peoples any longer; but, letting your just rigor by the prayers of the holy souls and of the holy Church, the dear wife of your Son, recalling the memory of your old mercies, and putting in oblivion the crimes of their idolatry and their infidelity, finally give them the grace of know and adore with us your Son Jesus Christ, that you sent to the world to be the author of our salvation, our life and our resurrection, by which, indeed, we were delivered and redeemed from eternal death. Let him be glorified of all creatures, in time and in eternity. Let it be."

St. Augustine

O Thou Good Omnipotent, Who so carest for every one of us, as if Thou carest for him alone; and so for all, as if all were but one! Blessed is the man who loveth Thee, and his friend in Thee, and his enemy for Thee. For he only loses none dear to him, to whom all are dear in Him who cannot be lost. And who is that but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, even by filling them creating them. And Thy law is truth, and the truth is Thyself. I behold how some things pass away that others may replace them, but Thou dost never depart, O God, my Father supremely good, Beauty of all things beautiful. To Thee will I intrust whatsoever I have received from Thee, so shall I lose nothing. Thou madest me for Thyself, and my heart is restless until it reposes in Thee. Amen.
