It says St. Augustine of Hippo. But as I shared this phrase with others, the responses vary even farther apart.
Because there is an inconsistency in being and doing ... Being and loving.
St. Augustine bids us to do several things: First, to love, and loving what does? Die.
Dying is giving oneself as a whole towards a whole: Love. A sample first loved us: Jesus Christ, who gave his life to the last drop of his blood for the sake of all mankind, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Second, we are commanded to do, what is? It is supposed to serve. It has called you, leave your network, you follow and then imitate, disciple and missionary.
Third: Whatever you want ... Brother, if you love God above all things, love yourself, love your neighbor as yourself ... What more has to be your love but the will of Him who called you?
Beautiful, really beautiful invitation. Here is the
leave, so that the light Spirit leads us to the will of God and do in his name to be, what in your dream is just feasible.
God bless.
