“Just as in one man there is one soul and one body, yet many members; even so the Catholic Church is one body, having many members. \u00a0The Soul that quickens this Body is the Holy Spirit; and therefore in the Creed after confessing our belief in the Holy Spirit, we are bid to believe in the Holy Catholic Church.”-St. Thomas Aquinas<\/p>\n
“Never give up prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. \u00a0God often desires to see what love your soul has- and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.”-St. John of the Cross<\/p>\n
“We can’t have full knowledge all at once. \u00a0We must start by believing; then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.”-St. Thomas Aquinas<\/p>\n
