« All our faults, all our sins, come from three great evils: pride, ignorance and fear. We must have spoken to you in your theological studies of pride. But too often we forget the other two evils. Ignorance, so well denounced by the great Socrates, is the evil of intelligence. Fear is the evil that afflicts our hearts. As knowledge is the only way to overcome ignorance, the only anti-dote to fear... it's love. For the heart of man aspires only to love and be loved. All the wounds of love, which begins as early as childhood, generate fears that eventually paralyze our hearts and make us commit all kinds of evil deeds, sometimes even crimes. »
