Pope Leo XIII
Image

Pope Leo XIII
Image
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
Pope Leo XIII
Image
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
Image
For what concerns diversity of rites in the sacred liturgy, the Apostolic See has always made its position clear: not only it does not condemn diversity, but it eagerly and willingly grants to each nation the right to keep and preserve the legitimate customs and traditions of its forbears.

Every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own.
Pope Leo XIII
Image
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
Image
There are three influences which appear to Us to have the chief place in effecting this downgrade movement of society. These are-first, the distaste for a simple and laborious life secondly, repugnance to suffering of any kind thirdly, the forgetfulness of the future life.
