I Believe In Order That I May

A Single Mass Offered For Oneself During Life May Be Worth More Than A Thousand Celebrated For The Same Intention After Death.

Let No Worldly Prosperity Divert You, Nor Any Worldly Adversity Restrain You From His Praise.

God Hath Promised Pardon To Him That Repenteth, But He Hath Not Promised Repentance To Him That Sinneth.

For I Do Not Seek To Understand In Order To Believe, But I Believe In Order To Understand. For I Believe This: Unless I Believe, I Will Not Understand.

I Have Written The Little Work That Follows . . . In The Role Of One Who Strives To Raise His Mind To The Contemplation Of God And One Who Seeks To Understand What He Believes.
