LOVE AND DO WHAT YOU WANT

This was St. Augustine's seventh homily on the First Epistle of John, paragraph 8:

Love, and do what you will:
whether you hold your peace, through love hold your peace;
whether you cry out, through love cry out;
whether you correct, through love correct;
whether you spare, through love do you spare:
let the root of love be within,
of this root can nothing spring but what is good.

aime et fais ce que veux. si tu te tais, tais-toi par amour. Si tu parles, parles par amour. Si tu corriges, corrige par amour. Si tu pardonnes, pardonne par amour. Aie au fond du coeur la racine de l'amour. De cette racine rien ne peut sortir de mauvais. S. Agostin

blessed day

Dear Jesus,
as I call on you today I realize I often come asking for favours.
Today I'd like just to be in you presence.
Let my heart respond to your love. Amen.
