What has constrained me? Not my virtues, but only Your charity. May that same charity constrain You to illuminate the eye of my intellect with the light of faith, so that I may know and understand the truth which You have manifested to me.
— ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA, OP, The Dialogue
Just as it is better to illuminate than merely to shine, so to pass on what one has contemplated is better than merely to contemplate.
— ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, OP, Summa Theologica
