"For the law of sin is the fierce force of habit, by which the mind is drawn and held even against its will, and yet deservedly because it had fallen willfully into the habit."

I. xiii (21)
“What is more pitiable than a wretch without pity for himself who weeps over the death of Dido dying for love of Aeneas, but not weeping over himself, dying for his lack of love for you, my God, light of my heart, bread of the inner mouth of my soul, the power which begets life in my mind and in the innermost recesses of my thinking.”

Beautiful reflection of the struggle of the human’s weakness & seeking good through a very self aware and humble lens of St Augustine’s life.

Even though I’m reading the English translation, I can’t imagine how beautiful the original copy must be. Very relatable and definitely enjoyed reading his journey to his Catholic faith. His understanding of Christian theology gave me a new perspective of my faith.
