We aspire to what is great; in order to become great, let us become attached to what is little. Would you like to deal with God’s greatness? Deal first with his humility.

—St. Augustine of Hippo

quoted in the book, Desire and Unity: Augustinian Spirituality for Today

TIMELESS WISDOM

Intellectual giant of the Christian West, Saint Augustine is also one of its greatest spiritual masters. To this man of desire and friendship, Christ taught to purify everything in charity, to direct everything towards God, and to unify everything in communion. His thought profoundly influenced the history of Catholicism, and the vigor of his view of the human heart responds to today’s concerns. Fr. Emmanuel-Marie presents beautiful insights into this timeless message of desire and unity of Augustine, which offers us a living message charged with hope.
