When the Company is
working in the missions, it must give itself to God to explain by
familiar comparisons the truths of the Gospel. So, let’s strive to
form our minds to this method, imitating in
that Our Lord, who, as
the holy Evangelist states, sine parabolis non loquebatur ad eos.
Let's be judicious about using passages from profane authors in our
preaching; in addition, this should be done only to serve as a
stepping stone to Holy Scripture. (SV XI, 41)
