Searching for Him…
Why speed to the heavenly heights and the lowest parts of the earth searching for Him who is with us if we wish to be with Him?
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Does so with consent…
A man may lose the good things of this life against his will; but if he loses the eternal blessings, he does so with his own consent.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Forgiveness is…
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Enter into your heart…
Enter then into your heart, and if you have faith, you will find Christ there. There He speaks to you. I the preacher, must raise my voice, but He instructs you more effectively in the silence. I speak in sounding words; He speaks within.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Do not complain…
Do not grieve or complain that you were born in a time when you can no longer see God in the flesh. He did not in fact take this privilege from you. As he says, ‘Whatever you have done to the least of my brothers, you did to me.’
–Saint Augustine (354–430)
The older saints get…
The older saints get, the younger their hearts become. Do not let your heart grow old with the passing of time. Love with a love which daily grows ever more intense, ever more new, ever more pure—that is, with the love which God pours into your heart.
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)
