St Augustine
Sermon 19, 5
What do I reserve you in heaven? What awaits me up there ? Eternal life, incorruptibility, royalty with Christ, the society of angels. There, more disorder, more ignorance, more danger, more temptations; the real, certain, immutable security! And far from you, what did I search on the earth? wealth fleeing, falling, fly, what have I sought? gold, this land reflects yellow, silver, pale reflection of this land, honor, smoke an instant, that's what I wanted from you on earth! And to think that seeing it in the hands of sinners, my feet staggered and was about to fall! Oh! God is good for those who have right heart.
