“Little children follow and obey their father.
They love their mother.
They know nothing of covetousness,
ill-will, bad temper, arrogance and lying.
This state of mind opens the road to Heaven.
To imitate our Lord’s own humility,
we must return to the simplicity
of God’s little ones.”
St Hilary (315-368)
Father and Doctor of the Church
“Prayer, appeases the anger of God;
He pardons the sinner
when he prays with humility.”
St Lawrence Justinian (1381-1455)

with a repentance which is strong,
constant, tranquil
but not troubled, unquiet or fainthearted.”

with St. Peter’s repentance and remorse,
than with his sin.”
