“Our birth took place within the Church and for the Church, and for what is best and most essential in the Church : the true priesthood, made for the Holy Sacrifice as Our Lord instituted it, as the Church has confirmed it in all its Magisterium.... It is in absolute confidence of the perpetuity of the Catholic priesthood and the Holy Sacrifice that we have persevered in the development of our work.”

"To deepen that great mystery of our faith which is the Holy Mass, to have unlimited devotion for it, to place it at the center of our thoughts, of our hearts, of all our interior life – that is what it means to live in the spirit of the Church. All Scripture is turned toward the Cross, toward the Redeeming Victim, radiating glory; all the life of the Church is turned toward the altar of the Sacrifice; and so its chief concern is the holiness of the Priesthood."
