The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Saint Augustine
Image
Modo, et modo, non habebent modum. By-and-by has no end.
Saint Augustine
Image
For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you today never comes to an end: and yet our today does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply today.
Saint Augustine
Image
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
Image
For if it is not lawful to take the law into our own hands and slay even a guilty person, whose death no public sentence has warranted. Then certainly he who kills himself is a homicide, and so much the guiltier of his own death as he was more innocent of that offence for which he doomed himself to die.
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
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
Image
Love and say it with your life.
Saint Augustine
Image
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
Image
I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not bid me to do so.
Saint Augustine
Image
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
Image
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.
Saint Augustine
Image
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
Saint Augustine
Image
Trials and tribulations offer us a chance to make reparation for our past faults and sins. On such occasions the Lord comes to us like a physician to heal the wounds left by our sins. Tribulation is the divine medicine.
Saint Augustine
Image
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
Image
Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo (Give me chastity and continence, but not just yet)!
Saint Augustine
Image
Mary heard God's word and kept it, and so she is blessed. She kept God's truth in her mind, a nobler thing than carrying his body in her womb.
Saint Augustine
Image
Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.
Saint Augustine
Image
It will not be held against you that you are ignorant against your will, but that you neglect to seek out what it is that makes you ignorant not that you cannot bring together your wounded limbs, but that you reject Him that would heal them.
Saint Augustine
