When people truly open their minds, and contemplate the way in which the universe is ordered and governed, they are amazed-overwhelmed by a sense of the miraculous. When people contemplate with open minds the germination of a single seed, they are equally overwhelmed-yet numerous babies are born every day, and no-one marvels. If only people opened their minds, they would see that the birth of a baby, in which a new life is created, is a greater miracle than restoring life.

Saint AugustineYour best servant is the person who does not attend so much to hearing what he himself wants as to willing what he has heard from you.
Saint AugustineIt is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.
