" 466Los enemigos de Dios y de su Iglesia, manejados por el odio imperecedero de satanás, se mueven y se organizan sin tregua. Con una constancia “ejemplar”, preparan sus cuadros, mantienen escuelas, directivos y agitadores y, con una acción disimulada —pero eficaz—, propagan sus ideas, y llevan —a los hogares y a los lugares de trabajo— su semilla destructora de toda ideología religiosa. —¿Qué no habremos de hacer los cristianos por servir al Dios nuestro, siempre con la verdad? "

" You told me, in confidence, that in your prayer you would open your heart to God with these words: “I think of my wretchedness, which seems to be on the increase in spite of the graces you give me. It must be due to my failure to correspond. I know that I am completely unprepared for the enterprise you are asking of me. And when I read in the newspapers of so very many highly qualified and respected men, with talents and money, speaking, writing, organizing in defence of your reign… I look at myself, and see that I’m a nobody: ignorant, poor: so little, in a word. This would fill me with shame if I did not know that you want me to be so. But Lord Jesus, you know how very gladly I have put my ambition at your feet… To have Faith and Love, to be loving, believing, suffering. In these things I do want to be rich and learned: but no more rich or learned than you, in your limitless Mercy, have wanted me to be. I desire to put all my prestige and honour into fulfilling your most just and most lovable Will.” I then said to you: don’t let this remain merely as a good desire. "
