  1    1              8     |             Incarnation, that is to say, will continue, through
  2    1,    1,  a,   13    |           and Blood, so that we can say with the Apostle: It is
  3    1,    1,  b,   17    |          Christian truths"~ ~We can say that he who believes in
  4    1,    1,  b,   18    |           the irascible, that is to say, to the mind, the spirit
  5    1,    1,  b,   22    |           Mother of God.~ ~I do not say this to deplore these devotions
  6    1,    1,  b,   24    |         most charitable thing I can say about these priests is that
  7    1,    1,  b,   26    |             of the diocese -- and I say this with keenest satisfaction --
  8    1,    1,  b,   28    |             the simple truth when I say that the priest is fenced
  9    1,    1,  b,   29    |           St. Vincent De Paul would say to his priests, don't you
 10    1,    1,  c,   35    |             does the divine Teacher say, my beloved?  First of all,
 11    1,    1,  c,   35    |            call sinners, that is to say, everybody, to penance. 
 12    1,    1,  c,   35    |          Penance!  And whom does he say this to?  He says it to
 13    1,    1,  c,   35    |        renounce himself, that is to say, one's intellect, by submitting
 14    1,    1,  c,   35    |         carry his cross, that is to say, let him bear  ./. with
 15    1,    1,  c,   36    |           him follow me, that is to say, let him walk in the footsteps
 16    1,    1,  c,   37    |                 ourselves -- I will say with a famous philosopher --
 17    1,    2,  b,   48    |        ejaculatory prayers.  I must say them often.... often....~ ~
 18    1,    2,  c,   53    |             love, unites, one might say, all hearts into one single
 19    1,    2,  c,   54    |            need to pray.  One might say that her whole life, like
 20    1,    2,  c,   54    |             pray.  What more can we say?  The Queen of the angels
 21    1,    2,  c,   55    |             their requests.  Let us say it boldly: people command
 22    1,    2,  c,   55    |            equals but, I would dare say, surpasses the very power
 23    1,    2,  d,   59    |             does not make sense, to say the least.  If Napoleon

 25    1,    2,  d,   66    |              To these people I will say: if progress is real, if
 26    1,    3,  a,   74    |            of their lives.  I would say, moreover, that they would
 27    1,    3,  a,   75    |      brought to earth.  Let me just say this: look at the peace
 28    1,    3,  a,   78    |        breathe his last, that is to say, at the most solemn moment
 29    1,    3,  a,   80    |           you parents, above all, I say: every night hold classes
 30    1,    3,  a,   81    |           together every evening to say the Rosary"~ ~Come together
 31    1,    3,  a,   81    |            parents and children, to say the Rosary before the beloved
 32    1,    3,  b,   88    |  forefathers and mothers"~ ~I would say that this venerable Basilica,
 33    1,    3,  b,   88    |     animated by charity; that is to say, a faith followed by the
 34    1,    3,  c,   90    |            earth (...).~ ~One could say, in the beautiful words
 35    1,    3,  c,   93    |            Pius IX, who ‑- if I may say so ‑- had an instinct for
 36    2            102     |           mediatorship," that is to say, that the bishop is the
 37    2            103     |             submission," that is to say, through a union "of faith,

 40    2,    1,  a,  108    |             ministers who, we might say, are the arms of the body.

 42    2,    1,  b,  111    |               Each one of us should say the same thing: "The Church

 44    2,    1,  d,  119    |         strong in unity"~ ~To all I say: be firm, be fearless, be
 45    2,    1,  d,  120    |       altogether new"~ ~What can we say about certain people who,
 46    2,    1,  d,  122    |            human passions.~ ~I will say over and over again: what
 47    2,    1,  d,  123    |           others do not hesitate to say so ‑- the universal Shepherd
 48    2,    1,  d,  124    |   Everything, as De Maistre used to say, foreshadows some sort of

 50    2,    1,  f,  130    |             I send you." That is to say: I send you out with the
 51    2,    1,  f,  131    |            of you agree in what you say and that there be no divisions
 52    2,    1,  f,  132    |       bishop of your souls.~ ~I can say that, ever since that day,
 53    2,    2,  a,  138    |        Peter, Peter himself, I dare say, who continues to live in
 54    2,    2,  a,  140    |         word: "Peter."  He meant to say that only Peter can speak
 55    2,    3,  a,  150    |     Divinity."  St. Augustine would say that the episcopate is a
 56    2,    3,  a,  151    |       pontiff: "Pontiff, that is to say, a bridge-builder" (St.
 57    2,    3,  a,  151    |         Jesus Christ.  He can truly say with the Apostle Paul: "

 59    2,    3,  a,  153    |           but being firm in what we say.  We must defend ourselves
 60    2,    3,  a,  155    |            a mental institution, to say the least.  My constant,

 62    2,    3,  b,  157    |             of love.  Everything, I say, everything without exception. 
 63    2,    3,  b,  158    |         disturbs me greatly.  I can say with St. Augustine, "I tremble
 64    2,    3,  c,  160    |            bishops"~ ~Please do not say, like the people the Apostle
 65    2,    3,  c,  161    |         know what to think, what to say, what to write, what to
 66    2,    3,  c,  162    |             the Apostle Paul I will say: "Yet I consider life of
 67    2,    3,  c,  164    |            real priests, that is to say, who are imbued with the
 68    2,    3,  d,  166    |             not keep quiet.  I will say once again: it is an affront
 69    2,    3,  d,  169    |          must not be surprised if I say that revolution and revolutionary
 70    2,    3,  d,  169    |       little to fear.  But ‑- and I say this with great sorrow ‑-
 71    2,    3,  d,  170(31)| hierarchical principle," that is to say, the violation of the bishop'
 72    2,    3,  e,  173    |             the Church.  He used to say (...) that what would hasten
 73    2,    3,  e,  175    |            the Inquisition, we will say: "The mountains begot,"
 74    2,    3,  e,  175    |            is what he was trying to say: just because I am a bishop,
 75    2,    3,  e,  176    |          peace.  If down there they say something that just isn'
 76    2,    4,  a,  182    |        situation is desperate, they say, and nothing can be done. 
 77    2,    4,  b,  184    |             I chose you, that is to say, separated you from sin
 78    2,    4,  b,  184    |          and bear fruit, that is to say, bring people to conversion. 
 79    2,    4,  b,  187    |       purifies the mind, that is to say, the very source of meditation. 
 80    2,    4,  b,  189    |            weakness."  We can truly say, however, that priests have
 81    2,    4,  c,  195    |             are clerics, that is to say, the portion of the Lord;
 82    2,    4,  d,  197    |      learning.  Where are those who say it is enough for a priest
 83    2,    4,  c,  199    |              Vincent de Paul, would say to his missionaries: "My
 84    2,    4,  c,  199    |           is my disciple ‑- amen, I say to you, he will surely not
 85    2,    4,  c,  200    |            your credit.  That is to say: in the sight of the Lord

 88    2,    5,  b,  210    |          antichristian minority.  I say all of us, because we would
 89    2,    5,  c,  214    |            all times, what shall we say of our modern days?  We

 91    2,    5,  c,  217    |     forcefully.~ ~To these people I say: what good is it to you
 92    3,    1,  a,  223    |             today and to be able to say with serenity and confidence
 93    3,    1,  a,  224    |             I will truly be able to say with the Apostle Paul: "
 94    3,    1,  a,  228    |            your sacristies, as they say today, but come out with
 95    3,    1,  a,  229    |             souls, may I be able to say in all truth when the time
 96    3,    1,  b,  235    |        fulfilled.~ ~Now I can truly say that there is no part, albeit
 97    3,    1,  b,  235    |             of all shepherds, I can say in all truth: "I know my
 98    3,    1,  b,  235    |           and they know me."  I can say what St. Paul told the faithful
 99    3,    1,  c,  242    |             which the prophet could say:"the table of the Lord has
100    3,    1,  d,  246    |            term to human beings, we say that education is the means
101    3,    1,  d,  246    |             senses.~ ~But, you will say, how shall we achieve this? 
102    3,    1,  d,  247    |        varnish of education, I dare say, but it is not education.~ ~
103    3,    1,  d,  250    |         loves of my heart ‑- that I say it is no longer in order
104    3,    1,  d,  251    |          prevent them."  That is to say:, respect the attraction
105    3,    1,  e,  254    |             a peace that, one might say, is a foretaste, here below,
106    3,    1,  e,  255    |             that crib where, I dare say, lies something sacred and
107    3,    1,  e,  256    |            of you who are parents I say: train!  The training of
108    3,    1,  f,  260    |              and faith have  ./. to say about all this?~ ~Reason,
109    3,    2,  a,  268    |            us here in vain.  We can say that the fruits of the First
110    3,    2,  b,  273    |             it every day, one might say, that, once a child takes
111    3,    2,  c,  278    |             are not those who daily say with their lips: "Lord,
112    3,    2,  c,  279    |        hearers (...).~ ./. We might say that the Gospel is the catechism
113    3,    2,  c,  282    |     ministry.~ ~What am I trying to say?  I am trying to say exactly
114    3,    2,  c,  282    |             to say?  I am trying to say exactly what my venerable
115    3,    2,  d,  285    |          not solid food; that is to say, they require an instruction
116    3,    2,  d,  286    |            Francis de Sales used to say, is a good source of images,
117    3,    2,  d,  289    |      eminent Italian bishop, I will say to you: welcome children
118    3,    2,  e,  290    |             mechanical.  That is to say: in their mind it is not

122    4,    1      311     |           let me say it at once and say it clearly: all this is
123    4,    1      312     |            very thoughtless, not to say, of little faith!~ ~We must
124    4,    2      319     |           everything the socialists say is bad, as I have shown
125    4,    3,  a,  330    |             ruined Italy.~ ~Still I say: love of religion and love
126    4,    3,  a,  331    |             set at rest, that is to say, the consciences of all
127    4,    3,  b,  335    |           her holy days, that is to say, freedom to offer God the
128    4,    3,  b,  335    |             Gospel word, that is to say, freedom to teach truth
129    4,    3,  b,  335    |          holy hierarchy, that is to say, freedom of vocation for
130    4,    3,  b,  335    |            of ownership, that is to say, freedom to own and administer
131    4,    3,  c,  340    |              With remorse, if I may say so, I gave the divine law
132    4,    3,  c,  341    |             any other way?  Could I say anything less than what
133    4,    4,  a,  347    |            call certain people.   I say this because there are now
134    4,    4,  b,  349    |           supply of ‑- what shall I say? ‑- of good faith and wise
135    4,    4,  b,  350    |               No matter what people say or do, it will prevail.10~ ~ ~"
136    4,    4,  b,  351    |             and you will be able to say that you opened the road
137    4,    4,  c,  357    |            always and in all things say: "I never went astray by
138    4,    4,  c,  360    |          goodbye Jack!  What do you say about this, Your Eminence? 
139    4,    4,  d,  361    |             don't know what else to say.  Do you know how many of
140    4,    4,  d,  363    |         episcopal consecration.~ ~I say "an excuse" because, among
141    5,    1,  a,  379    |           The vast majority, not to say all, of those who emigrate
142    5,    1,  b,  382    |          One could close an eye and say with Manzoni: you poor little
143    5,    1,  c,  384    |          completely.  What shall we say of the poor peasants who
144    5,    1,  c,  385    |       easily imagine.~ ~What can we say about the even more distressing
145    5,    1,  c,  386    |                Most of them, sad to say, don't know where they are
146    5,    1,  c,  387    |      religious life.  Suffice it to say that the vast majority lives
147    5,    2,  a,  398    |             It would not be true to say that what has been accomplished
148    5,    2,  a,  398    |          and kindness.  I will only say that with confidence in
149    5,    2,  a,  399    |            any doubt about this.  I say this so that we may be firmly
150    5,    2,  c,  402    |             and have nothing bad to say against you.  After the
