St. Ambrose of Milan

What is impossible to God? Not that which is difficult to His power, but that which is contrary to His nature. 1

The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt. 2

The Lord was Baptized, not to be cleansed Himself, but to cleanse the waters, so that those waters, cleansed by the flesh of Christ which knew no sin, might have the power of Baptism. 3

When we speak about wisdom, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about virtue, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about justice, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about peace, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking of Christ. 4

There is your brother, naked and crying! And you stand confused over choice of floorcovering. 5

No one heals by wounding another. 6
