By anonymous request. Should I record some of these longer clips with my own voice? I'm American, in case that affects your preference.

The precious blood of Christ does not cleanse the souls of men in spite of themselves. Men have to do their part by sincere repentance and by the yielding of their souls to Christ in faith and love.

Out-of-doors, our ideas of God are diffused, and God Himself is diffused. At Church our ideas of God become concentrated. Enter a dim Cathedral—and wait, and things will grow clearer.

It is implicitly contained in Catholic doctrine that Christ will some day come in majesty and power to judge the living and the dead. Having stated that fact, the Catholic Church concentrates on our clear duties here and now. The future can safely be left to God.

Prayer is, in itself, an act of religion as well as a petition.

Q: Is it reasonable to accept without hesitation another man's word for what happened twenty centuries ago?

A: Quite, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the man who tells you is rightly informed and truthful.

Any Catholic girl who can comply with the conditions of admission laid down by the rules of convent life may apply for admission provided she believes that she can serve God better in religious life than in a worldly and secular career.

We should not banish the thought of death. We should let the thought of death enkindle a fear of sin, and of nothing else. Holy Scripture rightly warns us: "Remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin."

That the earth as such took millions of years for its gradual formation can be regarded as scientifically certain. But that man evolved from lower forms of life is pure hypothesis or conjecture, without any real evidence in its favor.

There is an element in God's love which many people overlook. He must hate evil as much as He loves good, both insofar as it is opposed to His perfection, and insofar as it is an obstacle to the union of our souls with Him.

Q: Is a Catholic who confesses to a priest any better off than a Protestant who confesses to God?

A: Yes, in many ways, not the least of them being that the one who goes to Confession seeks forgiveness in the way our Lord prescribed instead of laying down his own conditions.

Destroy man's conviction of immortality, and he degenerates, even as the fish taken out of the sea will perish, or the tree torn up by the roots will die.

Q: The Church is formed, not of those who belong to a visible organization, but of those who are born again from above, endowed with the Holy Spirit.

A: That could not be judged by men. No one could tell who belonged to the true Church and who did not, according to that theory.

The holy, gentle, Christ-like priest appears much more frequently on the stage of this world than the one who has proved unworthy of his calling.

God's sheer goodness chose to give us what is in no way due to us, the supernatural destiny to see Him face to face in heaven, and the grace to attain this Vision.

One who chooses the religious life by entering the convent chooses a higher state in life than another who chooses marriage. This is evident from both the conduct and teaching of Jesus and of the Apostles.

If you see in Christ merely an ordinary human being, it is no wonder you have difficulties. Christ is inexplicable, unless we take into account all the factors concerning Him. And it is essential to remember that He was at one and the same time true God and true man.

Prayer of petition is not the kind of penny-in-the-slot machine by which we obtain just what we specify as we would obtain a box of matches.

The supernatural character of the Bible stands out in vivid contrast when compared with the teachings of other religious documents.

If you were to contrast the nature of the confessional with the nature of the doctor's surgery, you would find the confessional a thousand times better safeguarded against abuses than the surgery.

Q: What would be the position of a Catholic who joined the Freemasons?

A: Such a man rebels against divine authority, rejects the Church as guide of his moral conduct, commits a grave sin, is excommunicated, and is deprived of all right to the Sacraments and to Catholic burial.
