ound doctrine must be maintained. We must never judge in arrogant haughtiness persons who do not embrace our mode of life.

We must never say that it is no use for them to live chastely in the married state, to direct their houses and families in a Christian way, or to heap up for themselves heavenly treasures by their acts of mercy.

Prayer. Lord, you get angry but remain calm.

From John E. Rotelle, O.S.A., Augustine Day by Day: Minute Meditations for Every Day Taken from the Writings of Saint Augustine. Catholic Book Publishing Co. New York, 1986.
