God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
Image
When I come to be united to thee with all my being, then there will be no more pain and toil for me, and my life shall be a real life, being wholly filled by thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.
Saint Augustine
Image
What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine

To fall in love with God is the greatest romance to seek him the greatest adventure to find him, the greatest human achievement.

Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Gods occupy the loftiest regions, men the lowest, the demons the middle region...They have immortality of body, but passions of the mind in common with men.
Saint Augustine
Image
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
Image
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
Image
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
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
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
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
