Gems from Mother's Journal

Final quotes that were collected in the back of my mother's brown '98-'00 journal.

Here's to the ability
To have the agility
To take our virility
Into our senility. (from Modern Maturity)

Draw me, and I will run after Thy drawings
to cast myself into Thy Fatherly arms,
to leave them no more forever and ever. (Desales)

He knows that if God permits evil, He does so
in order that something good of inestimable
value may come out of it. (Dr. Agostino Maltarello)

He judged it better and more in accord with His power
to bring some greater good even out of evil
than to permit no evil whatsoever. (Augustine-"City of God")

Sometimes the soul is snatched away so swiftly
that there is no time to feel the
anguish of dying. (Augustine-"City of God")
