Thoughts of St Augustine for December 31

THOU still wearest a ragged vesture of flesh, not yet hast thou received the robe of immortality, and dost thou give over asking as one who already has got his fill? Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after justice, for they shall have their fill (Matt. v. 6)....When justified we are healed by Mercy, so as to have no fear of judgement. When glorified we pass to life everlasting, where we praise God without end. Amen.
