Abortion is murder…
Abortion is a precipitation of murder, nor does it matter whether or not one takes a life when formed, or drives it away when forming, for he is also a man who is about to be one.
–Tertullian of Carthage (c.160 – 225)
Don’t allow anger…
It is better not to allow anger, however just and reasonable, to enter at all, than to admit it in ever so slight a degree; once admitted, it will not be easily expelled, for, though at first but a small plant, it will immediately grow into a large tree.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
The more desire…
The more fervent the desire, the more worthy will be its fruit. When the Apostle tells us: Pray without ceasing, he means this: Desire unceasingly that life of happiness which is nothing if not eternal, and ask it of him who alone is able to give it.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Full of anger…
It is blasphemy if you pray before God while you are full of anger.
–Saint Ephrem of Syria (c. 306 – 373)
Controlled by anger…
It avails nothing to subdue the body, if the mind allows itself to be controlled by anger.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
Who destroys a fetus…
A woman who deliberately destroys a fetus is answerable for murder. And any fine distinction between its being completely formed or unformed is not admissible among us.
–Saint Basil the Great (329-379)
