Some words of St Augustine

Therefore once for all this short command is given to you:

"Love and do what you will."

If you keep silent, keep silent by love:

If you speak, speak by love;

If you correct, correct by love;

If you pardon, pardon by love;

Let love be rooted in you,

And from the root nothing but good can grow.

- St Augustine of Hippo

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 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

- St Augustine of Hippo
