Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
Image
Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.

But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine
Image
Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self the heavenly by the love of God.
Saint Augustine
Image
The one who is good, is free even being a slave the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
Saint Augustine
Image
I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.
Saint Augustine
Image
Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations.
Saint Augustine

A marriage without children is the world without the sun.
Saint Augustine

Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt.
Saint Augustine
Image
Cyprian was not issuing a new decree but was keeping to the most solid belief of the Church in order to correct some who thought that infants ought not be baptized before the eighth day after their birth. . . . He agreed with certain of his fellow bishops that a child is able to be duly baptized as soon as he is born.
