“Many have been at pains to set forth the history of what time has brought to fulfilment among us, following the tradition of those first eye-witnesses who gave themselves up to the service of the word. And I too, most noble Theophilus, have resolved to put the story in writing for thee as it befell, having first traced it carefully from its beginnings, that thou mayst understand the instruction thou hast already received, in all its certainty.” (St. Luke i, 1-4)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God…. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth… And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, grace and truth by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” (St. John i, 1-2, 14, 16-18)
“So, following the saintly fathers, we all with one voice teach the confession of one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ… truly God and truly man… begotten before the ages from the Father as regards his divinity, and in the last days the same for us and for our salvation from Mary, the virgin God-bearer as regards his humanity… acknowledged in two natures… a single person and a single subsistent being… one and the same only-begotten Son, God, Word, Lord Jesus Christ”. (Council of Chalcedon, Definition of the Faith)

“Por estos misterios santos de que hemos hecho recuerdo, te pedimos, ¡oh María!, de la Fe santa, el aumento, la exaltación de la Iglesia; del Papa el mejor acierto. Que el gentil conozca a Dios. Que todos los pecadores tengamos arrepentimiento. Que los enfermos tengan la salud. Que en el purgatorio logren las ánimas refrigerio. Y que este santo sacrificio tenga efecto tan completo en toda la cristiandad, que alcancemos por su medio, el ir a alabar a Dios en tu compañía en el cielo. Amén.” (De las Siervas de los Corazones Traspasados de Jesús y María)

“Now this is life everlasting, that they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent… I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world: as I also am not of the world.

Thy word is truth.” (St. John xvii, 3, 14-17)

Dear Brethren, these are the two groups that appear before you each day, the followers of Christ and the followers of the world…
To the right, the little flock that follows Jesus can speak only of tears, penance, prayer and contempt for worldly things… Worldlings, on the contrary, rouse one another to persist in their unscrupulous depravity. “Enjoy life, peace and pleasure,” they shout, “Enjoy life, peace and pleasure. Let us eat, let us drink, let us sing, let us dance, let us play. God is good, He did not make us to damn us; God does not forbid us to enjoy ourselves; we shall not be damned for that; away with scruples; we shall not die.” …
In answer to the gracious invitation which Jesus extends, let us rise above ourselves… Let us look up to the unique Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus crucified. Let us fly from the corrupting concupiscence and enticements of a corrupt world. Let us love Jesus in the right way, standing by Him through the heaviest of crosses. Let us meditate seriously on these remarkable words of our beloved Master… “If any man will come after Me let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me”.
