St. Augustine

The house of my soul is narrow

...the house of my soul is narrow; enlarge it that thou mayest enter in.
~ St. Augustine

O Beauty so ancient yet ever new

Too late I loved you, O Beauty so ancient yet ever new! Too late I loved you! And, behold, you were within me, and I out of myself, and there I searched for you.

~ by St. Augustine in Confessions, X, 27

When we pray least

We pray least when we say most.

~ St. Augustine

Love is the beauty of the soul

Love comes from within you. When you ask for love from one another, you miss the very source of love. When you give love to another, you find the source of love within you.

Inasmuch as love grows in you, so in you beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.

~ St. Augustine
