He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
Image
Try to acquire the virtues you believe lacking in your brothers. Then you will no longer see their defects, for you will no longer have them yourself.
Saint Augustine
Image
Consequently, heretics and schismatics, separated from the unity of this Body, are able to receive the same Sacrament, but with no benefit to themselves indeed, more to their own harm, in that they are judged the more severely rather than being liberated.
Saint Augustine
Image
Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.

Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.

Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Saint Augustine
Image
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
Saint Augustine

Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
Image
There are wolves within, and there are sheep without.
Saint Augustine
Image
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
Image
The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.
Saint Augustine
Image
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine
Image
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven.
Saint Augustine
Image
Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.
Saint Augustine
Image
Man has been naturally so created that it is advantageous for him to be submissive, but disastrous for him to follow his own will, and not the will of his creator.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
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.
