Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
From Saint Augustine
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
Hear the other side.
To seek the highest good is to live well.
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
There is something in humility which strangely exalts the heart.
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
