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
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
Inadequacy of his own strength, learned from experience, impels and urges a man to enlist the help of others.
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
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
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
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
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 Church of Christ, therefore, is one and the same forever.
Pope Leo XIII
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.
Pope Leo XIII
Nothing is more important than to war on war.
Pope Leo XIII
People differ in capacity, skill, health, strength and unequal fortune is a necessary result of unequal condition. Such inequality is far from being disadvantageous either to individuals or to the community.
Pope Leo XIII
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
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
The first law of history is to dread uttering a falsehood the next is not to fear stating the truth lastly, the historian's writings should be open to no suspicion of partiality or animosity.
Pope Leo XIII
Nothing emboldens the wicked so greatly as the lack of courage on the part of the good.
Pope Leo XIII
