The poor need…
God has no need of your money, but the poor do. You give it to the poor and God receives it.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
This is that grace…
It is not that we keep His commandments first, and that then He
loves; but that He loves us, and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace, which is revealed to the humble, but hidden from the proud.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Praise God, if…
If physical things please you, then praise God for them, but turn back your love to Him who created them, lest in the things that please you, you displease Him.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Show me God…
You say to me ‘Show me your God.’ I answer you, ‘Everything you see in your heart that might sadden God, remove.’
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Needed by others…
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
All graces given…
All graces given to those outside the Church are given them for the purpose of bringing them inside the Church.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
