A balance made necessary by the events of our time
consists in strengthening the bonds of unity among
good people in the measure in which those bonds
are weakened among the bad. (Letters 64)

22
The inner strength of the Church increases in inverse
proportion to her external resources. (Letters 19)

Let us pray and keep on praying. The times keep
getting more perverse and ugly. Individual and selfish
interests must yield to the common interests of Mother
Church. (Letters 31)

24
Let us ask the Lord to enlighten us to do His will. (Letters
194)

Blessed be God for making our fields fruitful, and may He
be doubly blessed when, in punishing us for our sins, He

also arouses in our hearts faith and piety. (Letters 214)
26
In a frightful variety of ways the kingdom of God is being
demolished. Let us strive to do everywhere our work of

restoration with help from Heaven. (Letters 76)

We must return to the catechism, the book par
excellence that offers truth, advice, and teaching to
everyone. It teaches the art of governing to kings and
defines for people the principles of equality and liberty. It provides
the norms of legislation to men in government, it regulates the
administration of power to those who wield it. It points out to
magistrates the ways of justice, to workingmen the moral
standards of work. It guarantees for the rich man his property
rights and insures, for the poor man the daily bread of charity.
(Letters 25)
