Fasting...

Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, kindles the true light of chastity. ~ St. Augustine

The Truth Is Like...

"The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself." ~ St. Augustine

Discourses on the Psalms

“Because the promise of God that, from mortality and corruption, from this weak and abject state, from dust and ashes, we could become equal to the angels of God seemed incredible to men, he not only made a written covenant…but also gave them a Mediator as a pledge of his promise.” ~ St. Augustine (Discourses on the Psalms)

He Departed...

"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."

~ St. Augustine
