In the Mass…
In the Mass the Blood of Christ flows anew for sinners.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Undeceive ourselves…
Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Jesus Christ will be…
Jesus Christ will be Lord of all, or he will not be Lord at all.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Christ held himself in his hands…
Christ held Himself in His hands when He gave His Body to His disciples saying: ‘This is My Body.’ No one partakes of this Flesh before he has adored it.

How to be saved…
Children, we all know how to be saved, but, by our own negligence, we fall short of salvation.
–Saint Synkletike (a Desert Mother) (d. 350)
The new creation…
For to despise the present age, not to love transitory things, unreservedly to stretch out the mind in humility to God and our neighbor, to preserve patience against offered insults and, with patience guarded, to repel the pain of malice from the heart, to give one’s property to the poor, not to covet that of others, to esteem the friend in God, on God’s account to love even those who are hostile, to mourn at the affliction of a neighbor, not to exult in the death of one who is an enemy, this is the new creature whom the Master of the nations seeks with watchful eye amid the other disciples, saying: “If, then, any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away. Behold all things are made new.” (2Cor. 5:17)
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
