St. Augustine

My dear, dear St. Augustine. Man of the world, son of a saint, convert to lifelong penance. As Father Groeschel – a fellow lover of NYC -said, that most “Catholic of Catholic saints.” City of God is the single greatest work of Western civilization. No contest. If there is a theological equivalent to the “living as Mary in a Martha world” it is the delightful interplay between Thomas (Martha) and Augustine (Mary).
