Thoughts of St Augustine for July 27

WHAT shall sight be? Hear what it shall be: That God may be all in all.

What is all? Whatsoever thou didst here seek after, what­soever thou didst here esteem mighty, him­self shall be to thee.

What didst thou wish here, what didst thou love? To eat and drink. He shall be thy food. He shall be thy Cup.

What didst thou wish here? A frail transient health of body. He shall be thy Immortality.

What didst thou seek here? Riches? Covetous one. What, I pray, sufficeth thee if God himself sufficeth not? But what didst thou love? Glory, honour? God shall be thy Glory.
