Saint Augustine Quotes About Running

Quotes about: Running

• God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the path with light, run our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of comradeship with heroes and saints of every age; and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to your honor and glory.

  Saint Augustine

  Running, Lonely, Hero

• O Lord my God,
  tell me what you are to me.
  Say to my soul,
  I am your salvation.
  Say it so that I can hear it.
  My heart is listening, Lord;
  open the ears of my heart
  and say to my soul,
  I am your salvation.
  Let me run toward this voice
  and seize hold of you.
  Do not hide your face from me:
  let me die so that I may see it,
  for not to see it would be death to me indeed.

  Saint Augustine

  Running, Heart, Voice

• You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.

  Saint Augustine

  Running, Fire, Going Away

  Saint Augustine, Henry Chadwick (2008). “The Confessions”, p.138, Oxford Paperbacks

• The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy; charity demands beneficence and fraternal correction; it is benevolence; it fosters reciprocity and remains disinterested and generous; it is friendship and communion: Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest.

  Saint Augustine

  Running, Love Is, Goal
