If then you remain constant in faith in the face of trial, the Lord will give you peace and rest for a time in this world, and forever in the next.
The best advice that I can give you is this. Church-traditions — especially when they do not run counter to the faith — are to be observed in the form in which previous generations have handed them down; and the use of one church is not to be annulled because it is contrary to that of another.
Nothing gives us a greater idea of our soul, than that God has given us, at the moment of our birth, an angel to take care of it.
Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God.
