“We need to direct our whole intention, dearly beloved brothers, to learning the mysteries of the faith, and we need to show that our works accord with our faith. With all vigilance we need to beware of the multifarious and subtle snares of the gates of hell, so… we may be worthy to be snatched from these [snares] by the Lord’s aid and to announce his praises'”
(Venerable Bede in Gospel Homilies)
