"Nothing is far from
God." - St
Monica
As recounted by Augustine... before
his mother died she told him:
"There was indeed one thing for which I wished to tarry a little
in this life, and that was that I might see you a Catholic before I died. My God
hath answered this more than abundantly, so that I see you are now made His
servant and spurning all earthly happiness. What more am I to do
here?"
