The Simple Faith…
The Simple Path
The fruit of Silence is prayer.
The fruit of Prayer is faith.
The fruit of Faith is love.
The fruit of Love is service.
The fruit of Service is peace.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Sin is believing the lie…
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
To touch God…
To touch God a little with our mind is a great blessing, to grasp him is impossible.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
To withhold forgiveness…
To withhold forgiveness is to take poison and expect the unforgiven to die.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
When people withdraw…
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God is within…
Where so ever you are, where so ever you may be praying, God who hears you is within you, hidden within, or God who hears you is not merely by your side, and you have no need to go wandering about, no need to be reaching out to God as though you would touch him with your hands.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
