Nicolaus Copernicus
Faith
He who has God
He who has God has everything; he who has everything but God has nothing.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
God loves each of
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
Do you desire security?
Do you desire security? Here you have it. The Lord says to you, “I will never abandon you, I will always be with you.” If a good man made you such a promise, you would trust him. God makes it, and do you doubt? Do you seek a support more sure than the word of God, which is infallible? Surely, He has made the promise, He has written it, He has pledged His word for it, it is most certain.
Saint Augustine
Bad times, hard times
Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.
Saint Augustine
If you believe what you
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.
Saint Augustine
Faith is to believe what
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
Saint Augustine
To fall in love with
To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.
Saint Augustine
