“See what love the Father has bestowed on us in letting us be called children of God!  Yet that is what we are.  Dearly beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall later be has not yet come to light.  We know that when it comes to light we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is”  (1 John 3:1-2).

 

"With regard to the mystic body of Christ, that is, all the faithful, the priest has the power of the keys, or the power of delivering sinners from Hell, of making them worthy of Paradise, and of changing them from the slaves of Satan into the children of God."
–St. Alphonsus Liguori
