Image
When, therefore, man lives according to man, not according to God, he is like the devil.
Saint Augustine
Image
For if God is man's chief good, which you cannot deny, it clearly follows, since to seek the chief good is to live well, that to live well is nothing else but to love God with all the heart, with all the soul, with all the mind.
Saint Augustine
Image
Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face.
Saint Augustine
Image
The same divine authority that forbids the killing of a human being establishes certain exceptions, as when God authorizes killing by a general law or when He gives an explicit commission to an individual for a limited time.
Saint Augustine
Image
Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.
Saint Augustine
Image
A marriage without children is the world without the sun.
Saint Augustine

Thus the good christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make false prophecies, however much they may in fact speak the truth lest, being in league with the devil, they may deceive errant souls into making common cause.
Saint Augustine
Image
The same thing which is now called Christian religion existed among the ancients. They have begun to call 'Christian' the true religion which existed before.
Saint Augustine
Image
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
Image
Woman was merely man's helpmate, a function which pertains to her alone. She is not the image of God but as far as man is concerned, he is by himself the image of God.
Saint Augustine
Image
In what is necessary, unity in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.
Saint Augustine
Image
Lord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.
Saint Augustine
Image
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
Image
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
Image
He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.
Saint Augustine
Image
Within the Church, sins are forgiven in three ways: by baptism, by prayer, and by the greater humility of penance yet God does not forgive sins except to the baptized.
Saint Augustine
Image
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
