Moral character is assessed not by what a man knows but by what he loves
Saint Augustine
Image
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
Saint Augustine
Image
What you see is the bread and the chalice that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ.

Don't hold onto the old man, the world don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away the world is losing its grip the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'

Saint Augustine
Image
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine
Image
We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
Saint Augustine
Image
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
