Nothing is sweeter than the calm of conscience, nothing safer than purity of soul - yet no one can bestow this on himself because it is properly the gift of God's grace.
Writing to the pope about a doctrinal controversy in Lombardy, Columban said: "We Irish, living in the farthest parts of the earth, are followers of St. Peter and St. Paul and of the disciples who wrote down the sacred canon under the Holy Spirit. We accept nothing outside this evangelical and apostolic teaching…. I confess I am grieved by the bad repute of the chair of St. Peter in this country…. Though Rome is great and known afar, she is great and honored with us only because of this chair…. Look after the peace of the Church, stand between your sheep and the wolves."
