More quotes by Saint Augustine
By means of corporal and temporal things we may comprehend the eternal and the spiritual.
Saint Augustine
I thought that continence was a matter of our own strength, and I knew that I had not the strength: for in my utter foolishness I did not know the word of Your Scripture that none can be continent unless You give it.
Saint Augustine
Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.
Saint Augustine
There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.
Saint Augustine
The weakness of little children's limbs is innocent, not their souls.
Saint Augustine
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
Saint Augustine
We must understand then, that even though God doesn't always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.
Saint Augustine
We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers.
Saint Augustine
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
What you see is the bread and the chalice that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ. This has been said very briefly, which may perhaps be sufficient for faith yet faith does not desire instruction
Saint Augustine
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
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
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
Saint Augustine
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
Although among heretics and schismatics there is the same Baptism, nevertheless, the remission of sins is not operative among them because of the very rottenness of discord and wickedness of dissension ... Baptism was in them, but it did not profit them outside the Church ... Outside the Church, Baptism works death because of discord.
Saint Augustine
Is any man skillful enough to have fashioned himself?
Saint Augustine
God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.
Saint Augustine
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
Saint Augustine
