St. Augustine

St Augustine once said:

"We are His temple, individually and collectively, since He condescends to dwell in each one and in the whole body, being no greater in all than in each, since He is neither expanded nor divided. Our Heart when it rises to Him is His alter. The priest who intercedes for us is His Only-Begotten Son. We sacrifice blood-stained victims to him when we fight for His truth at the loss of our own blood. To Him we offer the sweetest incense when we come before Him burning with Holy and pious love; to Him we devote and surrender ourselves to His gifts in us; to Him, by solemn feasts and on appointed days, we sanctify the memory of His benefits, so that neither time nor ungratefulness should creep up on us; to Him we offer on the alter of our heart the sacrifice of humility and praise, kindled by the fire of burning love. This is all so we may see Him, as far as He may be seen, and that we may cling to Him, cleansed from all stain of sins and evil passions, being consecrated in His name. Therefore, his the fountain of our happiness, and the aim of all our desires, being attached to Him - or rather re-attached since we formerly detached ourselvesand lost hold of Him - being, I say, re-attached to Him, we are drawn towards Him by love, that we may rest in Him, and find our blessedness by attaining that goal."

Where is this love in us today? Where is this love in me today? Where is this passion in us? Where is this passion in me? Oh that this would characterize us, our generation.
