Quote/s of the Day – 28 August – St Augustine (354-430) Bishop, Confessor, Great Western Father and Doctor of the Church
“And He departed from our sight
that we might return to our hearts
and find Him there.
For He left us
and behold,
He is here!”
“Do not love your life in this world!
If you truly love yourselves,
do not thus love your life
and then, you will save your life!”…
“He asks for our faith and offers us salvation.
What He offers us, is so precious
that what He asks of us, is as nothing!”
“When once I shall be united to You
with my whole being,
I shall at last be free of sorrow and toil.
Then my life will be alive,
filled entirely with You.
When You fill someone,
You relieve him of his burdens
but because, I am not yet filled with You,
I am a burden to myself.
Lord, have mercy! Woe is me!
I make no effort to conceal my wounds.
You are my Physician, I Your Patient.
You are merciful; I stand in need of mercy!”
“Mary, having merited to give flesh
to the Divine Word
and thus, supply the price
of our redemption
that we might be delivered
from eternal death, therefore,
she is more powerful
than all others,
to help us gain eternal life.”
