Therefore, you should certainly believe, when you listen to me or another servant of the Church, that you hear God Himself talking to you from heaven. For I have both the power and the command from God to comfort you and to forgive your sins in the name of Christ; the reason He became man and came to us was to make us holy.

Oh, dear Lord God, help us and open our eyes so that we can see and know. (p. 383-84).
