"The school of Christ is the school of charity.
On the last day, when the general examination takes place,
there will be no question at all on the text of Aristotle,
the aphorisms of Hippocrates, or the paragraphs of Justinian.
Charity will be the whole syllabus." - St Robert Bellarmine

"The Holy Eucharist is offered to us
on our pilgrimage as food so that
on our pilgrimage as food so that
we do not faint
on the path to the fatherland,
especially at the time when,
tired by a long journey,
tired by a long journey,
our forces are apt to wane…
The Lord left His Body in the Eucharist
as a pledge of heavenly beatitude."
