Makes happiness impossible…
Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Pray and work…
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Past, present, and future…
Trust the past to the Mercy of God, the present to His Love, and the future to His Providence.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Make a ladder…
We make a ladder for ourselves of our vices, if we trample those same vices underfoot.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
In failing to confess…
In failing to confess, Lord, I would only hide You from myself, not myself from You.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
The time for confession…
The present time is the time for confession. Confess what you have done, whether by words or by actions, whether by day or by night. If you confess at the acceptable time, you will receive the heavenly treasure on the Day of salvation. Make yourself pure so that you may be a vessel of more abundant grace.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
