Book Description
"Late have I loved you, Beauty so ancient and so new," prayed Saint Augustine. In a long and passionate search like a lost sheep, he delved in various philosophies. Finally, he discovered that God is near, within himself, in the depths of his soul. Augustine's Confessions immortalized the path of his conversion. They are a humble and sincere testimony of a sinner who experienced unconditional love. In Lent with Saint Augustine, Waldemar Turek presents selected excerpts for each day of Lent, taken from this pearl of spirituality and literature, to which he adds a commentary on the liturgical readings. These spiritual reflections, nourished by the sources of faith, serve as a prayerful aid. They allow the reader to touch the sacred while celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Each day's mini-meditation begins with a brief quotation from the writings of a spiritual guide.

Late Have I Loved Thee
Author: Augustine of Hippo
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0375725695
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
The first collection of Saint Augustine's varied writings on human and divine love—chosen to reflect his lifelong preoccupation with ordo amoris, the principle of rightly directed love. "My weight is my love," Saint Augustine writes in The Confessions. He sees our ability to love as disordered by sin, so that we often choose badly what and how to love. Only by recognizing that we are commanded to love God first can any other object of our love be properly ordered, Late Have I Loved Thee draws on the riches found in Augustine's sermons, letters, treatises, and Scripture commentaries, as well as passages from The Confessions and City of God. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) was the most prolific writer of Christian antiquity and the most influential theologian in Church history. In his first encyclical, God Is Love, current Pope Benedict XVI acknowledges his indebtedness to him. When we read Augustine today, we encounter the same direct, eloquent passions his original listeners experienced, infused with his deep sense of human weakness and burning desire for union with God.
