In college I had to read "Confessions" and just wasn't engaged. But now...wow. Incredible. What treasures! And now, as I read, I think, "Wow...he's lived my life...he would understand me..no WONDER he's interceeding for me!"<BR/><BR/>And how many of us feel the same way? No, I haven't exactly lived his life (I'm not a guy, for example...) But he speaks to us and for us, and his wisdom was quoted by St. Thomas Aquinas throughout the Summa. <BR/><BR/>This is a Saint for all of us, in every time.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34483860.post-8034275970059499522008-08-28T16:40:00.000-04:002008-08-28T16:40:00.000-04:00I like the fact that he is from Hippo :).

St. Augustine is one of the saints who seems so human pre conversion and so awesomely saintly after that which is why I like him too.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="" REL="nofollow"> http://dayofwrathdiesirae.blogspot.com </A>Smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458504641419416339noreply@blogger.com
