Quote/s of the Day – 28 August – The Memorial of St Augustine
“To fall in love with God is the greatest romance;
to seek Him the greatest adventure;
to find Him the greatest human achievement.”
“You ask what you might offer to God?
Offer yourself!
What does God expect from you, except yourself?”

one of the best exercises of piety
which we can practice in this world,
is to offer sacrifices, alms and prayer for the dead.”
“Conquer yourself and the world lies at your feet.”
“God has no need of your money
but the poor have.
You give it to the poor and God receives it.”
“Our life and our death are with our neighbour.”
“Do you wish to RISE?
Begin by DESCENDING.
You plan a tower that will pierce the CLOUDS?
Lay first the foundation of HUMILITY”
“I will suggest a means whereby
you can praise God all day long, if you wish.
Whatever you do, do it well and you have praised God.”
“God in his omnipotence could not give more,
in His wisdom: He knew not how to give more,
in His riches: He had not more to give,
than the EUCHARIST!”
“God does not command impossibilities
but by commanding, admonishes you do what you can
and to PRAY for what you cannot
and AIDS you that you may be able.”
AnaStpaul
