St Augustine of Hippo – August 28th

• You aspire to great things? Begin with little ones.
• This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
• Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.
• Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
• Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
• And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here.
• If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself
• Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.
• The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
