“It is necessary that we are always new, without allowing that which is old to be put in us stealthily, growing, advancing and renewing our interior man day by day; we do not advance by getting old, but by making novelty itself to grow always in us.”
SAINT AUGUSTINE, Sermon 131, 1

«You have to think whether you wish to see God. “God is love.” What face, what feet, what hand, what stature does love have? No one can say. Nevertheless, it has feet, thus, they lead to the Church. It has hands; they help the needy. They have eyes, thus, for them, it sees the destitute. . . It has ears, from them the Lord says: “He who has ears for hearing, let him hear.” It does not have members, that occupy space, but he who has love sees everything at a time with understanding. He dwells in love and he will dwell in you; remain in him, and he will remain in you. »
SAINT AUGUSTINE, Tract I in Jo 7,10
