“God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in the next.”
Plenary Councils of Baltimore, Baltimore Catechism, No. 3

Adolphe Tanquerey
“Because God is holiness itself, we cannot be united to Him unless we are clean of heart--a state implying a twofold condition: atonement for the past and detachment from sin and the occasions of sin for the future.”
Adolphe Tanquerey, The Spiritual Life: A Treatise On Ascetical And Mystical Theology

Brett McCracken
“[Man] was made to go six kilometers an hour, and he goes a thousand . . . He was made to have contact with living things, and he lives in a world of stone. He was created with a certain essential unity, and he is fragmented by all the forces of the modern world.”
Brett McCracken

Adolphe Tanquerey
“Present evils are but means of purifying our soul, of grounding it in virtue, and occasions of acquiring merits, all in view of God's glory, the ultimate end of creation.”
Adolphe Tanquerey, The Spiritual Life: A Treatise On Ascetical And Mystical Theology

Second Vatican Council
“[O]ften men, deceived by the Evil One, have become vain in their reasonings and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, serving the creature rather than the Creator. […] By the proclamation of the Gospel… [the Church] gives [non-Christians] the dispositions necessary for baptism, snatches them from the slavery of error and of idols and incorporates them in Christ…”
Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium: Dogmatic Constitution on the Church
