You are what you love.

Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
Image
Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not.
Saint Augustine
Image
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
Image
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine

It is not that we keep His commandments first and that then He loves but that He loves us and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace which is revealed to the humble but hidden from the proud.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love and say it with your life.
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
You have found that you were more secure before you accumulated so much. See what greed has imposed on you: You have filled your house and now you fear burglars. You have hoarded money and lost sleep. See what greed has commanded you: Do this! And you did it.
Saint Augustine
Image
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine
Image
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Saint Augustine
Image
A Christian should be an Alleluia from head to foot
Saint Augustine
Image
He who made thee is made in thee. He is made in thee through whom you were made.... Give milk, O mother, to him who is our food give milk to the bread that comes down from heaven.
