God is not a deceiver, that He should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.
Saint AugustineLet those who think I have said too little and those who think I have said too much, forgive me; and let those who think I have said just enough thank God with me.
Saint AugustineYou are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world; don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away; the world is losing its grip; the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'
Saint Augustine
