Day 11: Consumed by Passions (The Confessions of St. Augustine)
About this episode
The world offers many opportunities to satisfy our carnal desires. Such opportunities were also present in St. Augustine’s time and he pursued them. In these chapters, St. Augustine outlines some of what marked this time in his life. He describes his distaste for astrology, his intimate relationship with a woman, and the discovery and loss of a dear friendship. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk discuss the goodness of searching even if you stumble along the way. Today’s readings are Book 4, Chapters 1-4.
