You have pierced our hearts with the arrow of Your love.

You reach God by humilty

In ordinary visible situations, in order to reach places high up, you stretch yourself up to your full height. God however, though he is the most sublimely up of all things, is not reached by hoisting oneself up, but by humbling oneself.

St. Augustine, Sermon 351, 1
Found in Augustine Day by Day II by John E. Rotelle, OSA
