Image
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.

Saint Augustine
Image
Love is ever new because it never groweth old.
Saint Augustine
Image
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
Image
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
Saint Augustine
Image
Although God is all powerful, He is unable to give more though supremely wise, He knows not how to give more though vastly rich, He has not more to give.
Saint Augustine
Image
The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.
Saint Augustine
Image
The desire is thy prayers and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
Saint Augustine
Image
So while he made you without you, he doesn't justify you without you.
Saint Augustine
