Be Upright of Heart

If you want to be upright of heart, do not be displeased, over anything at all, with God.

If you see the reason for his doing what he does, do not find fault with him. If the reason escapes you, understand that the thing is done by one with whom it makes no sense at all to be displeased.

-- Sermon 15A, 7

Prayer. Blessed are those who love you, O God, and love their friends in you and their enemies for your sake.

-- Confessions 4, 9
