God gave his Son to Mary…
The world being unworthy to receive the Son of God directly from the hands of the Father, he gave his Son to Mary for the world to receive him from her.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God loves each of us…
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Do and pray…
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
If God seems slow…
If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Taught to pray…
So that we might obtain this life of happiness, he who is true life itself taught us to pray, not in many words as though speaking longer could gain us a hearing. After all, we pray to one who, as the Lord himself tells us, knows what we need before we ask for it.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
