More quotes by Pope Leo XIII
Nothing emboldens the wicked so greatly as the lack of courage on the part of the good.
Pope Leo XIII
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.
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
The liberty of thinking and publishing whatsoever each one likes, without any hindrances, is not in itself an advantage over which society can wisely rejoice. On the contrary, it is the fountainhead and origin of many evils.
Pope Leo XIII
God is not only true, but Truth itself.
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
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
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
Inadequacy of his own strength, learned from experience, impels and urges a man to enlist the help of others.
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
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
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
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
To suffer and to endure is the lot of humanity.
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
It is shameful and inhuman to treat men like chattels to make money by, or to regard them merely as so much muscle or physical power.
Pope Leo XIII
The Eucharist is source and pledge of blessedness and glory, not for the soul alone, but for the body also.... In the frail and perishable body that divine Host, which is the immortal body of Christ, implants a principle of resurrection, a seed of immortality, which one day must germinate
Pope Leo XIII
We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.
Pope Leo XIII
The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying.
Pope Leo XIII
Nothing is more important than to war on war.
Pope Leo XIII
