Prayer without mortification is an illusion or lasts but a short time
Spirituality
âSt. Francis Borgia says that prayer introduces the love of God into the soul, but mortification prepares a place for it, by banishing from the heart earthly affections â the most powerful obstacles to charity⌠âPrayer without mortification,â says Father Balthasar Alvarez, âis either an illusion, or lasts but a short time.ââ (St. Alphonsus Liguori)
Doctrine
St. Thomas Aquinas (1274): Whether the Angels Were Produced By God From All Eternity: âI answer that, God alone, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, is from eternity. Catholic Faith holds this without doubt; and everything to the contrary must be rejected as heretical. For God so produced creatures that He made them from nothing; that is, after they had not been.â
