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
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
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

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
To suffer and to endure is the lot of humanity.
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
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
Pope Leo XIII
Every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own.
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
Our own belief is that the renovation of the world will be brought about only by the Holy Eucharist.
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
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
