For who is your helper, but the Lord, to whom you say,
“O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.”
If you will presume on your own strength, thereby will you fall…
If on another’s, he would lord it over you, not succor you.
He then alone is to be sought Who has redeemed them, made them free,
and has given His Blood to purchase them,
and of His servants has made them His brethren.
— St. Augustine
