St. Augustine's "Confession:" Book Eight, Chapter Seven
6d ago00:08:16Tap to summarizeHello, Catholic Pilgrims. Thank you for joining me today. I'm not positive, but I would say that we have nearly reached the climax of St. Augustine's conversion. He is going to express some hard truths today about how he saw himself as he hears Ponticianus talk about monks and how they renounced the world for the sake of God. This is a very hard-hitting chapter, so let's open to Book Eight, Chapter Seven on page 169 and hear all about it.

St. Augustine's "Confession:" Book Eight, Chapter One
2w ago00:08:20Tap to summarizeWelcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to Book Eight. This book has fewer chapters than most, so we will move through it pretty quickly. Today, we are introduced to Simplicianus. He is going to be another spiritual mentor to St. Augustine and I find it interesting that we hear a lot about St. Ambrose helping to guide Augustine into the Church, but we don't really hear the name Simplicianus. He became Bishop of Milan after Ambrose died, so it's not like he was just an ordinary layman. Regardless, we will hear about him today. We are reading from Book Eight, Chapter One on page 157.
