“And he said to him, Friend, how did you get in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless. The one who was questioning him, you see, was not the sort of person for whom he could make up any excuse. That garment, in fact, was being observed on the heart, not on the body; if it had been the sort you put on over the rest, its lack wouldn’t have passed unnoticed even by the servants. You can recognize where the wedding garment is to be worn from the text which says, May your priests be clothed with justice (Ps 132:9). It is about that garment that the apostle says, Provided we be found clothed, and not naked (2 Cor 5:3).” (Page 449)

“Yes, brothers; if you have no qualms about believing, there’s nothing you need be ashamed of. I am speaking to you as one who was myself caught out once upon a time, when as a lad I wanted to tackle the divine scriptures with the techniques of clever disputation before bringing to them the spirit of earnest inquiry. In this way I was shutting the door of my Lord against myself by my misplaced attitude; I should have been knocking at it for it to be opened, but instead I was adding my weight to keep it shut.²² I was presuming to seek in my pride what can only be found by humility.” (Pages 23–24)

“The oil stands for something tremendous, something tremendously important. Don’t you think it’s charity? I’m asking it as a question, not rushing through a decision. I will tell you why I think it’s charity that is signified by the oil.” (Page 471)

“The only ones who will get strength from God are those who are aware of having weakness from themselves.” (Page 314)

About Augustine of Hippo

Aurelius Augustinus (354–430) is often simply referred to as St. Augustine or Augustine Bishop of Hippo (the ancient name of the modern city of Annaba in Algeria). He is the preeminent Doctor of the Church according to Roman Catholicism, and is considered by Evangelical Protestants to be in the tradition of the Apostle Paul as the theological fountainhead of the Reformation teaching on salvation and grace.
