Quote/s of the Day – 10 December – Thursday of the Second week of Advent
“But when the Son of Man comes,
will he find faith on earth?”
Luke 18:8
“Man’s Maker was made man,
that He, Ruler of the stars,
might nurse at His mother’s breast,
that the Bread might hunger,
the Fountain thirst,
the Light sleep,
the Way be tired on its journey,
that the Truth might be accused of false witness,
the Teacher be beaten with whips,
the Foundation be suspended on wood,
that Strength might grow weak,
that the Healer might be wounded,
that Life might die.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father & Doctor of the Church
“The divine nature and the nature of a servant,
were to be united in one person,
so that the Creator of time,
might be born in time and He,
through whom all things were made,
might be brought forth in their midst.”
“He Himself will help us
and lead us
to what He has promised.”
St Pope Leo the Great (400-461)
Father and Doctor of the Church
“You first loved us
so that we might love You—
not because You needed our love
but because, we could not be
what You created us to be,
except by loving You.”
William of Saint Thierry (c 1075-1148)
was a twelfth century French Benedictine Abbot of Saint-Thierry,
