Augustine today, Sermo 21 Unde autem iucundámur in Dómino, si a nobis longe est Dóminus? Et non sit longe! Ut longe sit tu facis. Ama et propinquábit; ama et habitábit. Dóminus in próximo est, nihil sollíciti fuéritis. Vis vidére quam si amáveris tecum sit? Deus cáritas est.

Congratulations to Archbishop Coakley. I’m honored by the confidence expressed by the body of bishops. I’ll do my best, con la ayuda de Dios. We must work together to announce the Gospel of Christ, and all that the Gospel implies for the defense of human dignity. Dios por delante.

Augustine. On 1st John, Tract 7, 9 Non illum dileximus prius: nam ad hoc nos dilexit, ut diligamus eum. It is not that we loved him first, for he loved us to this end: that we might love him. No es que lo hayamos amado primero, pues él nos amó para esto: para que lo amáramos.
