Some 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 AugustineHe loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.
Saint AugustineAnd he departed from our sight that we might return to our hearts and find him there. For he left us, and behold, he is here.
