God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint AugustineLord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.
Saint AugustineSome people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
Saint AugustineWhat grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith.
