Like Jesus Christ, the Church is the teacher of sanctity. To be saved it is necessary to practice her moral teachings. We are holy when we live the commandments of God and the precepts of the Church, the duties of our state in life, the evangelical counsels. The Church guards, proposes, and imparts it to all (see Acts 2:42–47; 4:32–35).

May you be blessed, O Divine Master, who in the Church and with the Church continue to be my way.
Whoever follows you walks toward heaven.
Whoever walks away from you loses the way, does not listen to the Church, nor to you, nor your Father.
Blessed be the voice of Mother Church, calling her sons and daughters.
May every prodigal child arise and return to the Father and to his Mother, the Church.

Glory to God . . .
