About this Episode

What is the difference between lust and love? Seeking to grow in penitence, St. Augustine reflects on himself at sixteen years old. He notes how God remained silent even while he strayed further from chastity. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk discuss God’s providence and what it means for us to choose him freely. Today’s readings are Book 2, Chapter 1-3.
