“One of the most admirable effects of Holy Communion is to preserve the soul from sin, and to help those who fall through weakness to rise again. It is much more profitable, then, to approach this divine Sacrament with love, respect, and confidence, than to remain away through an excess of fear and scrupulosity.” SoulHelpingChristianFallSinEffectsDivineHolyApproachWeaknessPreservesExcessCommunionSacramentsProfitableAdmirableLove RespectHoly Communion Author:Ignatius of Loyola
“Obstinacy, sir, is certainly a great vice; and in the changeful state of political affairs it is frequently the cause of great mischief. It happens, however, very unfortunately, that almost the whole line of the great and masculine virtues--constancy, gravity, magnanimity, fortitude, fidelity, and firmness--are closely allied to this disagreeable quality, of which you have so just an abhorrence; and in their excess all these virtues very easily fall into it.” StatesWholeHappensPoliticalFallCausesLinesQualityVirtueAffairVicesExcessGravityMasculineFortitudeFidelityMischiefDisagreeableConstancyFirmnessObstinacyMagnanimityAbhorrence Book:Celebrated Speeches of Chatham, Burke, and Erskine: To which is Added the Arguement of Mr. Mackintosh in the Case of Peltier Source: Celebrated Speeches of Chatham, Burke, and Erskine: To which is Added the Arguement of Mr. Mackintosh in the Case of Peltier
