Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.
Saint AugustineIt was not the visible sun, but its invisible Creator who consecrated this day for us, when the Virgin Mother, fertile of womb and integral in her virginity, brought him forth, made visible for us, by whom, when he was invisible, she too was created. A Virgin conceiving, a Virgin bearing, a Virgin pregnant, a Virgin bringing forth, a Virgin perpetual. Why do you wonder at this, O man?
Saint AugustineGod is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
