At Assumption University in Bangkok, Thailand

Humanity, after the fall, is much more fortunate than before, for through Jesus Christ, it acquired rights to all that is of God. All is at humanity’s disposal. It suffices to want it. That is why the Church sings, “O happy fault of Adam!”
Saint Clement Hofbauer
