ow magnificent are your works; in wisdom you have made them all. Thanks be to you! But you have made us over all of them. Thanks be to you!

When we despised you, we were not despised: in case we should have forgotten your divinity and should lose you, you even took upon yourself our humanity. Thanks be to you! When and where can there not be thanks?

Prayer. Lord, your best servants are those who wish to shape their life on your answers rather than shape your answers on their wishes.

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.
