Thoughts of St Augustine for November 9

THOU hast in store for me in heaven immortal riches, even thine own self; and here I have been desiring of thee on earth what even the wicked have, what criminals have, in the shape of money, gold, silver, jewellery, households of slaves; what many women of evil life have and many men of evil life; these things have I desired of my God, as something great upon earth, when all the while my God is keeping himself for me in heaven.
