Quote of the day

I'm not a very gregarious person. I can't bear attention being called to me in a public place, which is ridiculous in a business that pays you to be noticed.

Thomas Aquinas

It is altogether unlawful to kill oneself. . . Wherefore suicide is contrary to the inclination of nature, and to charity whereby every man should love himself. . . Life is God's gift to man, and is subject to His power, Who kills and makes to live. Hence whoever takes his own life, sins against God. . . for it belongs to God alone to pronounce sentence of death and life.

One faith, St. Paul writes (Eph. 4:5). Hold most firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church. . . We must hold this for certain, namely: that the faith of the people at the present day is one with the faith of the people in past centuries. Were this not true, then we would be in a different church than they were in and, literally, the Church would not be One.
