The crucifix…

It was His Will that after His death the Church should give us His image in the crucifix, that he might appear to us in a condition of utmost ignominy. And why? He did it because He knew the worth of humility and the danger of the sin which opposes it.
–Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)

Full knowledge…

We can’t have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing; then afterwards we may be led.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
