St. Augustine

St. Augustine

Driven by two passions: one for the pleasure of the world and the other for the Truth. He realised the emptiness of seeking the fullness of life form the world. At the age of 31, he turned to the Truth and that led him to change his life.  

After the conversion he wrote in his book Confessions:  

"Late have I loved Thee, O Lord; and behold,
Thou wast within and I without, and there I sought Thee.
Thou didst call, and cry, and burst my deafness.
Thou dist gleam, and glow, and dispel my blindness.
Thou didst touch me, and I burned for Thy peace.
For Thyself Thou hast made us,
And restless our hearts until in Thee they find their ease.
Late have I love Thee, Thou Beauty ever old and ever new."

St. Augustine pray for us sinners. Amen.
