Lesson from Saint Augustine

Sometimes we really do not know the extent of our weakness nor the power of our strength. Sometimes we think we can do more than we can actually do and then God must show us that we are still too weak to accomplish what we propose. Or we may despair of ourselves and then God must show us that we have the inner strength to endure. If we are in the first group, we must be given a lesson of humility. If we are in the second, we must be rescued from despair.

(Sermon 208B, Saint Augustine).
