arouses our desire and gives us strength…
As the soul is the life of the body,
so the Holy Spirit is the life of our souls.”

a curse fell upon the earth;
through a woman [Mary] as well,
there returned to the earth a blessing.”
“When you are scorned by others
and lashed by God, do not despair.
God lashes us in this life,
to shield us from the eternal lash in the next.”

“God gave Himself to you:
give yourself to God.”
“Where sin was hatched, let tears now wash the nest.”

and Christians are spiritual soldiers.”

but where I love,
I live.”
“When Fortune smiles,
I smile to think, how quickly she will frown.”
