Praising God
oes not our mouth
daily praise God as much as our limitations allow? What we praise is great,
but the instrument by which we praise him is still weak.
See how we stand and pray to God at some length. Our lips move often in song, but our thoughts rove about through all kinds of desires.
-- Commentary on Psalm 145, 6
Prayer. The human person is one of your creatures, Lord, and its instinct is to praise you.
-- Confessions 1, 1
