O Lord, grant that I may do Thy will as if it were my will, so that Thou mayest do my will as if it were Thy will.

I entered (into my inward self) and beheld with the eye of my soul...the Light Unchangeable.

Let those who think I have said too little and those who think I have said too much, forgive me; and let those who think I have said just enough thank God with me.

For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see?

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: "Compel people to come in!" By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.

Our rewards in heaven are a result of God's crowning His own gifts.
