Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
Image
Though there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.

We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.
Saint Augustine
Image
Since God is the highest good, he would not allow any evil to exist in his works unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let us understand that God is a physician, and that suffering is a medicine for salvation, not a punishment for damnation.
Saint Augustine
Image
Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine
Image
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
Saint Augustine
Image
Doubt is but another element of faith.
