Quotes from St. Augustine

“People look upon [the Church] and say, ‘She is about to die. Soon her very name will disappear. There will be no more Christians; they have had their day.’ While they are thus speaking, I see these very people die themselves, day by day, but the Church lives on.”

“But my sin was this, that I looked for pleasure, beauty, and truth not in Him but in myself and His other creatures, and the search led me instead to pain, confusion, and error.”

“To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement.”

~St. Augustine (A.D. 354-430)
