St. Augustine's "Confession:" Book Ten, Chapter One
5d ago00:03:54Tap to summarizeWelcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to Book Ten. If you have the reading schedule for this book that I made, you will see that Book Ten has 43 chapters. That may seem daunting, but most of the chapters are very short. You've made it more than halfway, so just realize that you've come a great distance with this book, probably farther than most. So, I thank you for continuing on with me. From here on out, we are going to be a lot of teaching from St. Augustine. That's important, because I think we need to see how far he comes in his understanding of God and the Catholic Faith. For the most part, it will all be in digestible pieces that I don't think will overwhelm. With that said, let's read our very short chapter today by opening to Book Ten, Chapter One on page 207.

St. Augustine's "Confession:" Book Nine, Chapter Twelve
1w ago00:09:33Tap to summarizeHello, Catholic Pilgrims. Thank you for joining me. We have a longer reading today where we will hear about how St. Augustine is trying to hold it together after his mother's death. There will be a part in Latin that is an evening prayer written by St. Ambrose. Instead of me stumbling through it, I will play it being sung by a choir at a Benedictine Abbey in Germany. They do a much better job that I could ever do. With that, let's read from Book Nine, Chapter Twelve on page 200. Sung Ambrose Evening Hymn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjzwxCy-ksk
