Saint Augustine"Otherwise grace is no more grace," since it is bestowed on us, not because we have done good works, but that we may be able to do them.
Saint AugustineHe who made thee is made in thee. He is made in thee through whom you were made.... Give milk, O mother, to him who is our food; give milk to the bread that comes down from heaven.
Saint Augustine
