Favorite St. Augustine Quote

Oh, too late have I loved thee, beauty so ancient and so new, too late have I loved thee. 
Behold, You were within me, and I was searching outside, among the beauty of Your creation. At last, didst You call out loud, did You force open my deafness and chase away my blindness. You did breathe fragrant odours, and I drew in my breath; and now I pant for You. You did touch me, and I burned for Your peace. Lord, have pity on me; my evil sorrows contend with my good joys. Lord, have pity on me. You are the Physician, I am the sick man; You are merciful, I need mercy. Is not the life of man on earth an ordeal? My whole hope is in Your exceeding great mercy and that alone. Give what You command and command what You will. O Love, O my God, enkindle me! – St. Augustine
