Day 60: Rest in Him (The Confessions of St. Augustine)
Catholic Classics
In this final episode, St. Augustine reflects on the height of creation: humanity. He ponders how men and women are oriented towards God because God has created them in his goodness and they are made to rest in him. Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk and Fr. Gregory Pine discuss what this means. They also address how God has healed humanity and why we are worthy of love. Today’s readings are Book 13, Chapters 31-38.

Please note: The Confessions of St. Augustine contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
