Excerpt
He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is; and he that knows It, knows eternity. Love knoweth it. O Truth Who art Eternity! and Love Who art Truth! and Eternity Who art Love! Thou art my God, to Thee do I sigh night and day. Thee when I first knew, Thou liftedst me up, that I might see there was what I might see, and that I was not yet such as to see.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Saint Augustine, God is an inner light that the eyes of the body cannot see: love is the eye able to see it, and the more we discover it, the more we understand that there remains infinitely more to see. Today, instead of trying to understand everything, do a concrete act of love for someone, then notice what it lights up in you.
