Student: For what reasons would we make the sign of the cross?
Teacher: First of all, we make it to call to witness that we are Christians, Soldiers of Christ our general and thus it is a specific symbol and becomes like a banner in which the Soldiers of Christ are distinguished from the "ENEMIES" of the church, such as pagans, jews, Turks and Heretics. Secondly, we make this sign of the cross to invoke the Divine assistance and all of our actions. For by this we invoke the Most Holy Trinity through the merits of The Passion of Christ Our savior."

"In Post-Revolutionary France the local French Catechism was revised to include a section on love for the Emperor (penalty for sinning against this commandment, eternal damnation)."

"Here we are confronted with a sharp rejection of the mode of thinking adopted by Descartes, whose grounding of philosophy in self-awareness (โCogito, ergo sumโ: I think, therefore I am) has decisively influenced the fate of the modern mind right down to the present-day forms of transcendental philosophy. Just as self-love is not the primordial form of love but at the most a derivative of it, just as one has only arrived at the specific nature of love when one has grasped it as a relation, that is, something coming from another, so, too, human knowledge is only reality when it is being known, being brought to knowledge and thus again โfrom anotherโ. [โฆ] That is why Baader consciously and quite rightly, changed the Cartesian โCogito, ergo sumโ into โCogitor, ergo sumโ: not โI think, therefore I am,โ but โI am thought, therefore I amโ. Only from manโs being known can his knowledge and he himself be understood."

โAs the moon draws its light from the sun and is in fact lesser than it in both greatness and quality, in position as in effect, so the royal power draws the splendour of its dignity from the pontifical authority; the more it remains in its sight, the greater the light with which it is endowed, and the more it is removed from its vision, the more it declines in splendour.โ

"For the Incarnate Word is our King, who came into this world to war with the devil; and all the saints who were before His coming are soldiers as it were, going before their King, and those who have come after and will come, even to the end of the world, are soldiers following their King. And the King himself is in the midst of His army and proceeds protected and surrounded on all sides by His columns. And although in a multitude as vast as this the kind of arms differ in the sacraments and observance of the peoples proceeding and following, yet all are really serving the one King and following the one banner; all are pursuing the one enemy and are being crowned by the one victory."

Pelagius of Asturias, 1853 - 1856, by Luis de Madrazo y Kuntz, Prado Museum
Pelayo, (died c. 737), was the founder of the Christian kingdom of Asturias in northern Spain, which survived through the period of Moorish hegemony to become the spearhead of the Christian Reconquista in the later Middle Ages.
Pelayoโs historical personality is overshadowed by his legend. As far as can be ascertained, he was a page, or possibly a member of the royal bodyguard, of the Visigothic king Roderick, and he may have been of royal blood. He survived the defeat (711) of the Visigoths by the Moors at the Battle of Guadalete near Medina Sidonia and reached his native Asturias, where he led a revolt of Asturians and Visigothic refugees against the Moorish governor Munuza. The rebels, though driven into the uplands of the Picos de Europa, were able to survive massive attacks by Moorish armies, and eventually, Pelayoโaccepted as their ruler (c. 718โc. 737)โwas able to set up a tiny kingdom with its capital at Cangas de Onรญs.

You are great, Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is your power, and to your wisdom there is no end. And man, being part of your creation, desires to praise you โ man who carries with him his mortality, the witness of his sin and the witness that you resist the proud. Yet man, this part of your creation, desires to praise you. You move us to delight in praising you, for you have formed us for yourself; and our hearts are restless until they find rest in you.

St Augustine, Confessions 1-1
"God is not only the object of science, but also its first teacher, and It is teacher of the knowable because It is the Intelligible. The philosophical work does not begin in the human being, but in God; it does not rise from the spirit to Ens/Being, but descends from Ens/Being to the spirit. This is the profound truth that clarifies the truth of ontologism and the absurdity of the opposite system. Before being a human work, philosophy is a divine creation. The psychologists who deprive philosophy of its celestial support and remove philosophy from the Ens/Being, make of it a pure human artifice, condemn it to a painful doubt, and assign to it the nothing as its beginning and end."

Fr. Augustus J. Thรฉbaud concerning a passage from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu:
"But the most remarkable passage, perhaps, of the whole book, is the following: โWhat you look at and do not see, is I; what you listen to and do not hear, is Hฤฑ ; what you try to touch and cannot is WEI โ three beings which cannot be understood and form but One. The first of them is neither brighter nor more obscure than the last. ... Whoever can conceive a right idea of the primitive state of reason (the non-existence of beings before creation) can know the principle, and holds in his hand the chain of reason."
Many Catholic missionaries saw in these words an almost clear expression of the Trinity. This holy dogma is certainly more positively asserted in this passage than in any Platonist sentence which the Fathers of the Church understood as containing it. The most striking part of it is undoubtedly the nomenclature of the successive letters I, H , V, which reproduce almost exactly the Hebrew tetragrammaton IHV - Jehova and which many learned men have recognized in the lao of the Greeks, the Jov. of the Latins, and the Jub. or Juba of the Mauritanians." - Gentilism: Religion Previous to Christianity, by Fr. Augustus J. Thรฉbaud S.J.

Rene Guenon is one of the few writers of our time whose work is really of importance โฆ he stands for the primacy of pure metaphysics over all other forms of knowledge
"Men who do not recognize the providence of God in history cannot understand the causes and the nature of these great empires of antiquity. But deep study lifts the veils which shut out the designs of God and His providential actions in the destiny and the development of the human race. All took place for his Christ." - Religions Of The World by Rev. Fr. James L. Meagher
