About this Episode

What does it mean to love God? What is our capacity for love of God? St. Augustine reflects on these questions and also ponders the origins of sin. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk discuss the movement from sin to holiness. Lastly, St. Augustine shares about St. Monica’s experiences at this point in his life. Today’s readings are Book 3, Chapters 8-12.
