Saint Augustine
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
Lord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.

Saint Augustine
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
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

Saint Augustine
It was pride that changed angels into devils it is humility that makes men as angels.
Saint Augustine
Punishment, that is the justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
For, as it is written in the book of the Prophets: 'And the angel that spoke in me, said to me...' He does not say, 'Spoke to me' but 'Spoke in me'.
Saint Augustine
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
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
Saint Augustine
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
Love God, then do what you will.
Saint Augustine
God's faithful servant has no desire for people to say or to give to him, or what he likes to hear or see, for his first and greatest aim is to hear what is most pleasing to God.
Saint Augustine
Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face.
Saint Augustine
God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed.
Saint Augustine
