St. Augustine says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today I have come to ask you to pray for the conversion of all government leaders and religious leaders whose hearts have been won over by misguided self-love. When I say ‘misguided', I refer to love which is not based upon the law of Holy Love but upon self-gain of some sort.”

“It is this disordered self-love which has motivated abortion, terrorism and all other evils, be it love of money, power or reputation.”

“God looks only at the heart, not position or title or outward appearance. He cannot be fooled or manipulated, for He is Truth Itself. When all is stripped away, each soul is responsible for the way he influenced those whom he had an effect upon. The greater a person's influence over others, the greater his responsibility before God.”
