Last Supper, detail -
Joos van Cleve (Dutch artist, 1485-1540)
"Your light shone upon me in its
brilliance, and I thrilled with love and dread alike. I
realized that I was far away from You. It was as though I were in a land where
all is different from Your own and I heard Your voice calling from on high
saying,
'I am
the food of full-grown men. Grow and you shall feed on Me. But you shall not
change Me into your own substance, as you do with food of your body. Instead,
you shall be changed into Me. '
"
St
Augustine

"To fall in love with God
is the greatest of all romances;
to seek Him, the greatest adventure;
to find Him, the greatest human achievement." ~ St
Augustine
St Augustine, ora
pro nobis!
