Management [ Providence ], Knowledge, And Intention

In So Far As The Soul Is A Force Residing In The Body; It Has Therefore Been Said That The Properties Of The Soul Depend Of The Condition Of The Body.

Hold Firmly To Your Word.

It Is No Wrong Or Injustice That One Has Many Bags Of The Finest Myrrh And Garments Embroidered With Gold, While Another Has Not Those Things, Which Are Not Necessary For Our Maintenance; He Who Has Them Has Not Thereby Obtained Control Over Anything That Could Be An Essential Addition To His Nature, But Has Only Obtained Something Illusory Or Deceptive. ...this Is The Rule At All Times And In All Places; No Notice Should Be Taken Of Exceptional Cases, As We Have Explained.

Transient Bodies Are Only Subject To Destruction Through Their Substance And Not Through Their Form, Nor Can The Essence Of Their Form Be Destroyed; In This Respect They Are Permanent.

We Are Obligated To Be More Scrupulous In Fulfilling The Commandment Of Charity Than Any Other Positive Commandment Because Charity Is The Sign Of A Righteous Man.
