"The body is the dwelling place of the soul; the soul is the spirit bestowed by the Lord. Although the body is made of earth and will eventually return to earth, its wondrous structure is sufficient to carry the soul to do good deeds, contemplate truth, and be grateful for the Lord's grace. Therefore, maintaining the body and understanding its physiology is also a way of honoring the gift of the Creator."
— Johann Schreck

"The light of the supernatural (faith) does not extinguish the light of nature (reason), but rather supplements its deficiencies and elevates it to a higher level. Reason guides the human heart to the door of truth, while faith opens that door so that the human heart may see the holy face of God."
— Gabriel de Magalhães
