Daily Virtue Quote – St. Augustine

“Whoever, then, has Christ in his heart, so that no earthly or temporal things – not even those that are legitimate and allowed – are preferred to Him, has Christ as a foundation. But if these things be preferred, then even though a man seems to have faith in Christ, yet Christ is not the foundation to that man; and much more if he, in contempt of wholesome precepts, seeks forbidden gratifications, is he clearly convicted of putting Christ not first but last, since he has despised Him as his ruler, and has preferred to fulfill his own wicked lusts, in contempt of Christ’s commands and allowances.”
