DAILY CONTEMPLATION
January 16, 2025 ~ Tobe 8, 1741
One… may ask, “What is good? What is the nature of good? And where does it come from?”
Well is it that you have understood that it is your duty to ask this.
I will answer your inquiries, and will say:
That is good which you cannot lose against your will.
For gold you may lose even against your will, and so you can a house,
honors, and even the health of the body.
But the good whereby you are truly good,
you neither receive against your will, nor lose against your will.
St. Augustine
