The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things.
But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.

The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.

Successful pastoral leadership required a balance between the contemplation of the isolated ascetic and the action of the well-trained administrator.

The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue. Therefore, if you want to be rich, beloved, love true riches. If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of Heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the Angels.

– Saint Gregory the Great
