"The essence of perfection is to embrace the will of God in all things, prosperous or adverse.

Our conduct in such instances is the measure of our love of God."

St Alphonsus de Liguori

"The more you know and the better you understand, the more severely will you be judged, unless your life is also the more holy. Do not be proud, therefore, because of your learning or skill. Rather, fear because of the talent given you."

It completed the work of man's salvation and redemption by which "the gates of Heaven," closed since the sin of Adam, were again opened.
