More quotes by Pope Leo XIII
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
Pope Leo XIII
Inadequacy of his own strength, learned from experience, impels and urges a man to enlist the help of others.
Pope Leo XIII
Hence from all we have hitherto said, it is clear beloved Catholics that we cannot approve the opinions which some [Protestants, Jews, and other heretics] comprise under the head of Americanism [freedom].
Pope Leo XIII
Not only, in strict truth, was marriage instituted for the propagation of the human race, but also that the lives of husbands and wives might be made better and happier.
Pope Leo XIII
Remember and understand well that where Peter is, there is the Church that those who refuse to associate in communion with the Chair of Peter belong to Antichrist, not to Christ. He who would separate himself from the Roman Pontiff has no further bond with Christ.
Pope Leo XIII
They knew only too well the intimate bond which unites faith with worship, 'the law of belief with the law of prayer,' and so, under the pretext of restoring it to its primitive form, they corrupted the order of the liturgy in many respects to adapt it to the errors of the Innovators.
Pope Leo XIII
To suffer and to endure is the lot of humanity.
Pope Leo XIII
No one is so rich that he does not need another's help no one so poor as not to be useful in some way to his fellow man and the disposition to ask assistance from others with confidence and to grant it with kindness is part of our very nature.
Pope Leo XIII
Moreover, Christians are born for combat, whereof the greater the vehemence, the more assured, God willing, the triumph: 'Have confidence I have overcome the world'
Pope Leo XIII
Every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own. This is one of the chief points of distinction between man and the animal creation.
Pope Leo XIII
It is neither just nor human so to grind men down with excessive labour as to stupefy their minds and wear out their bodies.
Pope Leo XIII
To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself.
Pope Leo XIII
Inasmuch as the domestic household is antecedent, as well as in idea as in fact, the family must necessarily have rights and duties which are prior than those of the Community and founded more immediately in nature.
Pope Leo XIII
It is not the part of prudence to neglect that which antiquity in its long experience has approved and which is also taught by apostolic authority.
Pope Leo XIII
O Virgin most holy, none abounds in the knowledge of God except through thee none, O Mother of God, obtains salvation except through thee, none receives a gift from the throne of mercy except through thee.
Pope Leo XIII
Our own belief is that the renovation of the world will be brought about only by the Holy Eucharist.
Pope Leo XIII
But the supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself.
Pope Leo XIII
It is quite unlawful to demand, defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing or worship, as if these were so many rights given by nature to man.
Pope Leo XIII
Every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own.
Pope Leo XIII
It is an in, a grave evil and a disturbance of the right order, for a larger and higher organisation, to arrogate to itself functions which can be performed efficiently by smaller and lower bodies.
Pope Leo XIII
