<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes from the book Saint Augustine Confessions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O God of hosts, restore us to our own; smile upon us, and we shall find deliverance. For wherever the soul of man may turn, unless it turns to you, it clasps sorrow to itself. Even though it clings to things of beauty, if their beauty is outside God and outside the soul, it only clings to sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalms 86:4-5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
