List of points

'And in a paganised or pagan environment when my life clashes with its surroundings, won't my naturalness seem artificial?' you ask me.

And I reply: Undoubtedly your life will clash with theirs; and that contrast — faith confirmed by works! — is exactly the naturalness I ask of you.

A man, a 'gentleman', ready to compromise would condemn Jesus to death again.

To compromise is a sure sign of not possessing the truth. When a man gives way in matters of ideals, of honour or of Faith, that man is a man without ideals, without honour and without Faith.

How humbly and simply the Gospels relate incidents that show up the weak and wavering faith of the apostles!

So that you and I won't lose hope of some day achieving the strong unshakable faith those first few afterwards had.
