All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort, no one ever wins the crown.
Thomas Becket
Better are the blows of a friend than the flase kisses of an enemy.
Thomas Becket
Remember the sufferings of Christ, the storms that were weathered... the crown that came from those sufferings which gave new radiance to the faith... All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort, no one ever wins the crown.
Thomas Becket
Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.
