• No digas que sólo la fe en Cristo puede salvarte, pues esto no es posible si no alcanzas el amor a Él, que se demuestra con las obras. En cuanto a la mera fe: "También los demonios creen y tiemblan" (Santiago, 2:19). La acción del amor consiste en las buenas obras de corazón hacia el prójimo, la magnanimidad, la paciencia y el uso sobrio de las cosas.

• If the words of God are uttered merely as verbal expressions, and their message is not rooted in the virtuous way of life of those who utter them, they will not be heard. But if they are uttered through the practice of the commandments, their sound has such power that they dissolve the demons and dispose men eagerly to build their hearts into temples of God through making progress in works of righteousness.

• Blessed is he who like Joshua (cf. Josh. 10:12-13) keeps the Sun of righteousness from setting in himself throughout the whole day of his present life, not allowing it to be blotted out by the dusk of sin and ignorance. In this way he will truly be able to put to flight the cunning demons that rise up against him.
