“You have made us
for Yourself, and our hearts are restless
until they find
their rest in You.” ― Augustine of
Hippo, Confessions

could not give more,
in His wisdom knew not how to give more,
in His riches had not
more to give,
than the
Eucharist."
St Augustine

“If you believe what you like in the gospel,
and reject
what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe,
but yourself.” -
St. Augustine of Hippo
"In
397, or twelve years after his conversion, Augustine wrote his Confessions, the
greatest spiritual autobiography ever written. It is the work of a teacher who
explains, a philosopher who thinks, and a theologian who instructs. It is the
work of a poet who achieves chaste beauty in the writing, and a mystic who pours
out thanks for having found himself in peace. " - Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in St
Augustine of Hippo
St Augustine, pray for
us!
