“Jew and Gentile are two worlds, between you Gentiles and us Jews there lies an unbridgeable gulf...There are two life forces in the world Jewish and Gentile...I do not believe that this primal difference between Gentile and Jew is reconcilable...The difference between us is abysmal...You might say: 'Well, let us exist side by side and tolerate each other. We will not attack your morality, nor you ours.' But the misfortune is that the two are not merely different; they are opposed in mortal enmity. No man can accept both, or, accepting either, do otherwise than despise the other.” MenWorldBelieveWellsTwoDifferentMightLyingForceSidesDifferencesAcceptingMoralityJewMortalsMisfortunesDespiseToleratePrimalEnmityTwo WorldsGentilesTwo Lives Author:Maurice Samuel

“Mary lived in the divine Eucharist, the center of her love. All her thoughts, words, and actions sprang from It like the rays from the sun. The Eucharist was the oracle which she consulted, the grace which she followed. But Jesus Christ in His Sacrament lives the same life of love which consumed Him in His mortal days. In His sacramental state He continues to adore His Father by His depthless self-abasement. He is still the Mediator and Interceder with divine goodness for the salvation of men” MenStillsSelfStatesActionFatherJesusChristSunGraceDivineGoodnessJesus ChristSalvationMortalsRaysMarySacramentsAdoreConsumedEucharistOraclesWords And ActionsMediatorsAbasement Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“Every man, however hopeless his pretensions may appear, has some project by which he hopes to rise to reputation; some art by which he imagines that the attention of the world will be attracted; some quality, good or bad, which discriminates him from the common herd of mortals, and by which others may be persuaded to love, or compelled to fear him.” MenWorldMayArtCommonAttentionQualityImagineFameProjectsEvery ManReputationMortalsHopelessImagine ThatCompelledHerdsPretension Author:Samuel Johnson
