"O precious and wonderful banquet that brings us salvation and contains all sweetness! Could anything be of more intrinsic value? Under the old law it was the flesh of calves and goats that was offered, but here Christ himself, the true God, is set before us as our food. What could be more wonderful than this?" - St. Thomas Aquinas

"The Lord in his pity for man, who had fallen into the hands of brigands, having himself bound up his wounds and left for his care two coins bearing the royal image, entrusted him to the Holy Spirit. Now, through the Spirit, the image and inscription of the Father and the Son have been given to us, and it is our duty to use the coin committed to our charge and make it yield a rich profit for the Lord." - St. Irenaeus

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” - J. R. R. Tolkien, Faramir in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

"Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of the Apostle: 'If you have risen with Christ, set your hearts on the things that are above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God; seek the things that are above, not the things that are on earth.' For just as he remained with us even after his ascension, so we too are already in heaven with him, even though what is promised us has not yet been fulfilled in our bodies." - St. Augustine, Office of Readings, Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord

Through Christ we have gained access to the Father, for as Christ himself says, no one comes to the Father except through him." - St. Cyril of Alexandria, Office of Readings for the 6th Sunday of Easter

"The light of Christ is an endless day that knows no night. Christ is this day, says the Apostle; such is the meaning of his words: 'Night is almost over; day is at hand'...The celestial day is perpetually bright and shining with brilliant light; clouds can never darken its skies. In the same way, the light of Christ is eternally glowing with luminous radiance and can never be extinguished by the darkness of sin." - St. Maximus of Turin
