“That the whole substance of religion was faith, hope and charity; by the practice of which we become united to the will of God: that all besides is indifferent, and to be used as a means that we may arrive at our end, and be swallowed up therein, by faith and charity. That all things are possible to him who believes – that they are less difficult to him who hopes – that they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues.”
