Of Two Evils We Must Always Choose

No One Can Obtain From The Pope A Dispensation For Never Dying. [lat., Nemo Impetrare Potest A Papa Bullam Numquam Moriendi.]

In The Cross Is Salvation; In The Cross Is Life; In The Cross Is Protection Against Our Enemies; In The Cross Is Infusion Of Heavenly Sweetness; In The Cross Is Strength Of Mind; In The Cross Is Joy Of Spirit; In The Cross Is Excellence Of Virtue; In The Cross Is Perfection Of Holiness. There Is No Salvation Of Soul, Nor Hope Of Eternal Life, Save In The Cross.

Count Not Thyself To Have Found True Peace, If Thou Hast Felt No Grief; Nor That Then All Is Well If Thou Hast No Adversary; Nor That This Is Perfect, If All Things Fall Out According To Thy Desire.

For It Is The Grace Of Christ, And Not Our Own Virtue, That Gives Us The Power To Overcome The Flesh And The World.

Love Is Active And Sincere, Courageous, Patient, Faithful, Prudent And Manly.
