What God is not…
We can know what God is not, but we cannot know what He is.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
It is God’s way…
God is more anxious to bestow His blessings on us than we are to receive them. For it is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
True Church of Christ…
Do you wish to know which is the true church of Christ? Count those priests who, in a regular succession have succeeded Saint Peter, who is the Rock, which the gates of hell will not prevail.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Sacrament of new life…
Such is the power of this sacrament: it is a sacrament of new life which begins here and now with the forgiveness of all past sins, and will be brought to completion in the resurrection of the dead.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
When we sin…
We should be displeased with ourselves when we commit sin, for sin is displeasing to God. Sinful though we are, let us at least be like God in this, that we are displeased at what displeases him.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
