So what are we going to say, brothers, about God? For if you have fully grasped what you want to say, it isn’t God. If you have been able to comprehend it, you have comprehended something else instead of God. If you think you have been able to comprehend, your thoughts have deceived you. So he isn’t this, if this is what you have understood; but if he is this, then you haven’t understood. So what is it that you want to say, seeing that you haven’t been able to understand it?
Augustine, Sermo 52
Anything that changes does not keep its being, and anything that can change even though it does not, is able to not be what it was; and thus only that which not only does not but also absolutely cannot change deserves without qualification to be said really and truly to be.
Augustine, De Trinitate, Book V.
“Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved – do not despair. One was not – do not presume.”
— St. Augustine (via twocrowns)
In the Garden of Eden, Adam & Eve experienced the friendship of God face-to-face. Yet in that same Garden, they committed the first sin, which we have inherited, and were cast out.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, our Redeemer prayed with fervor - not merely for himself, but for all of us. "And for [the Disciples] do I sanctify myself, that they may also be sanctified in truth. And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me; That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou has given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one. I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one; and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. Father, I will that where I am, they also may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world." (John 17:19-24)
Christ calls all men and women to himself upon the Cross, the sacrifice that opened the gates of Heaven. All can pass through those gates if we trust in him and have faith, if we are willing to uproot our lives and change our ways. All can pass through those gates if they are willing to be planted in the Garden of Heaven, nourished eternally by his Precious Blood.
