Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love and the future to God’s providence.
— Augustine of Hippo
Faith
Thou Has This Day
Remember, Christian soul, that thou has this day, and every day of thy life, God to glorify… Jesus to imitate… A soul to save… A body to mortify… Sins to repent of… Virtues to acquire… Hell to avoid… Heaven to gain… Eternity to prepare for… Time to profit by… Neighbors to edify… The world to despise… Devils to combat… Passions to subdue… Death, perhaps, to suffer… Judgment to undergo.
— Augustine of Hippo
Second Coming of Christ
He who loves the coming of the Lord is not he who affirms it is far off, nor is it he who says it is near. It is he who, whether it be far or near, awaits it with sincere faith, stead-fast hope and fervent love.
— Augustine of Hippo
Obedience
When your commands are obeyed, it is from you that we receive the power to obey them.
— Augustine of Hippo
