It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation; but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.

Should you ask me what is the first thing in religion, I should reply that the first, second, and third thing therein is humility.

They the hazers or eversores were rightly called Overturners, since they had themselves been first overturned and perverted, tricked by those same devils who were secretly mocking them in the very acts by which they amused themselves in mocking and making fools of others.

Humility is first, second and third in Christianity.

No one indeed believes anything unless he has first thought that it it to be believed.
