Maintaining Sound Doctrine

Sound doctrine must be maintained. We must never judge in arrogant haughtiness persons who do not embrace our mode of life.

We must never say that it is no use for them to live chastely in the married state, to direct their houses and families in a Christian way, or to heap up for themselves heavenly treasures by their acts of mercy.

-- Letter 157, 39

Prayer. Lord, you get angry but remain calm.

-- Confessions 1, 4
