Quotes about Suffering by Saint Augustine

  • If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
  • Let us understand that God is a physician, and that suffering is a medicine for salvation, not a punishment for damnation.
  • Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Jesus Christ; rest your weary ones; bless your dying ones; soothe your suffering ones; pity your afflicted ones; shield your joyous ones; and all for your love's sake. Amen.
  • God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
