“I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.”

“Preach the Gospel, die, and be forgotten.”

“The gospel is preached in the ears of all men; it only comes with power to some. The power that is in the gospel does not lie in the eloquence of the preacher otherwise men would be converters of souls. Nor does it lie in the preacher’s learning; otherwise it could consists of the wisdom of men. We might preach till our tongues rotted, till we should exhaust our lungs and die, but never a soul would be converted unless there were mysterious power going with it – the Holy Ghost changing the will of man. O Sirs! We might as well preach to stone walls as preach to humanity unless the Holy Ghost be with the word, to give it power to convert the soul.”

“Many trees have died so that the Catholic Church can preach against homosexuality.”

“Love...Will never preach a thing it does not believe, and it will never believe a thing it is not willing to preach.”

“Preach it, I say preach it.”
