ANGUSTA & AUGUSTA

"Per ANGUSTA ad AUGUSTA" is a Latin quote that means "through trials to triumph." (The rhymed Latin words have the same roots as our English words “anguish” and “august” [impressive or eminent]). The quote captures Michael Youssef’s words: “There can be no triumph unless there is a trial. There can be no testimony unless there is a test. There can be no conquest unless there is a conflict.” To those who are currently going through some dark moments, remember that it is only through ANGUSTA that we get to AUGUSTA. No cross, no crown. Your trials are precious gifts. Treasure them!"--SKP
