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)
The humble and the proud…
The humble resemble a rock. Even though the rock lies downward, it is nevertheless firm. The proud are like smoke. Even though the smoke is lofty, eventually it disappears.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
The Holy Scriptures…
Whoever, then, thinks that he understands the Holy Scriptures, or any part of them, but puts such an interpretation upon them as does not tend to build up this twofold love of God and our neighbor, does not yet understand them as he ought.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
