Pope Benedict XV
How insistently Jerome urges on priests assiduous reading of the Bible if they would worthily teach and preach! Their words will have neither value nor weight nor any power to touch men’s souls save in proportion as they are “informed” by Holy Scripture: “Let a priest’s speech be seasoned with the Bible,” for “the Scriptures are a trumpet that stirs us with a mighty voice and penetrates to the soul of them that believe,” and “nothing so strikes home as an example taken from the Bible.”

God wills us to be saved; but for our greater good, he wills us to be saved as conquerors. While, therefore, we remain here, we have to live in a continual warfare; and if we should be saved, we have to fight and conquer.

God wills to be called upon, he wills to be forced, he wills to be conquered by importunity. . . . Happy violence by which God is not offended, but appeased!
