What you are…
What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
To fall in love with God…
To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances; to seek him, the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Without wondering…
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Journey with Him…
It was not enough for God to give us his Son merely to point out the way. He made the Son himself the way, so that you might journey with him as guide, as he walks in his own way.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Help ones closest to us…
We are to love everyone equally, but there’s no way we can help everyone. There are many people and the world is large. The ones we can do something for are the ones closest to us. It is almost as though they were chosen by lot.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Remember the truths…
Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don’t you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
