You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.
Saint AugustineLove God and do whatever you please: for the soul trained in love to God will do nothing to offend the One who is Beloved.
Saint AugustineThe one who is good, is free even being a slave; the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
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 Augustine
