This entire most beautiful order of good things is going to pass away after its measure has been exhausted for both morning and evening were made in them.
Saint Augustine
Image
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.
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.
Saint Augustine
Image
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
Image
Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.
Saint Augustine

Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
Image
Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.
Saint Augustine
Image

In the Mass the blood of Christ flows anew for sinners.
Saint Augustine
Image
When large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other's flame.
Saint Augustine
Image
We take for granted the slow miracle whereby water in the irrigation of a vineyard becomes wine. It is only when Christ turns water into wine, in a quick motion, as it were, that we stand amazed.
Saint Augustine
Image
You have enemies. For who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can your enemy so hurt you by his violence, as you hurt yourself if you love him not.
Saint Augustine
Image
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
