“Faith in a particular mystery touches the hem of his garment on high, and power flashes forth from him in the depths of our souls.” – Fr. James Brent, O.P.
“Faith is a shield against all the fiery darts of the enemy (Eph. 6:16), but to use the shield requires us actually to look at things in the light of God.” – Fr. James Brent, O.P.
