"On the very instant that we know that our assailant intends us serious physical harm, we must work just as fast as we can."

Previous Quote

Everything we do, our every objective, must be undertaken for the sake of... purity of heart... we must practice the reading of the Scripture, together with all the other virtuous activities... to hold our hearts free of the harm of every dangerous passion and in order to rise step by step to the high point of love.
