"Be our mind as heavenly as it may be, most loving, most holy, most zealous, most
energetic, most peaceful, yet if we look off from Him for a moment, and look towards
ourselves, at once these excellent tempers fall into some extreme or mistake. Charity
becomes over-easiness, holiness is tainted with spiritual pride, zeal degenerates into
fierceness, activity eats up the spirit of prayer, hope is heightened into presumption. We
cannot guide ourselves. God ´s revealed word is our sovereign rule of conduct". (From
the Sermon "Tolerance of religious error"- Feast of St Barnabas the Apostle.)
