Must rely on re-posts today and here are some of the ones from the past on St. Augustine:
27 Feb 2013
I
am presenting bits of the City of God by St. Augustine. After Augustine
I shall highlight SS. Jerome and John Chrysostom, as part of the
section on the Classical Doctors of the Church. Of course, those of you
who have been ...

Here
is a commentary and a quotation from St. Augustine on the Feast of the
Maccabees, August 1st Sermon 300. (Other Fathers of the Church commented
on the Maccabean martyrs as well). Let no one think that before
there ...

St.
Augustine and his companions brought Christianity again to England at
the order of Pope St. Gregory, who saw the beautiful Angle-Saxons slaves
in Rome and called them "Angels, not Angles." May God in His Mercy
let ...

Do
you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a
vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility.
The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
St. Augustine

One
forgets the world of St. Augustine was very much like ours today. He
grew up and went to a classical school. He went to the theatre most
likely in or near Tagaste (Thagaste). He went to the University at
Carthage and went ...

From
St. Augustine. Posted by Supertradmum. Whenever we suffer some
affliction, we should regard it both as punishment and as a correction.
Our holy Scriptures themselves do not promise us peace, security and
rest.
13 Nov 2013
Many,
many years ago, in a great on line college, I taught some of the works
of St. Augustine for beginners. I covered Confessions and the City of
God . I had great fun and was sad when the course ended. I had
taught ...
01 Mar 2013
Looking
at a sermon of St. Augustine's (his works took over long aisles in the
Notre Dame library when I was there), one can perceive this dialectic in
his thought. In this perfection series, I am addressing the laity, so
that we ...

27 Feb 2013
Sadly,
I leave the great and sweet St. Bernard behind and move to the Doctors
of the Church in the Classical Period. St. Augustine will be the focus
for a few days. May I state that he has most likely been one of the
greatest ...

St.
Augustine of Hippo, Pray for Us. Posted by Supertradmum. If you have
not read the Confessions or the City of God, do. I actually, years ago,
was asked to teach the City of God at a small Catholic college.
04 Mar 2013
On
to St. Ambrose, the great teacher of St. Augustine....to be continued.
There are other postings on Augustine on this blog as well. And, I
recommend the older Peter Brown biography. One should always start, of
course, with ...

(14)
The fact that God foresees our salutary and meritorious acts
presupposes, according to the teaching of St. Augustine, the decree of
the divine will as regards these acts.(15) Father PortaliƩ considers
that St. Augustine ...
22 Jul 2014
Basically,
the Church has accepted and made into teachings the insights of St.
Augustine against the Pelagians and Semipelagians. There is Original
Sin, grace is necessary and gratuitous, and we are absolutely
dependent ...
28 Feb 2013
I
know I started the postings on St. Augustine, which will continue on
Friday, but today I was reading in the sermon of St. Bernard of
Clairvaux, On Detraction. I am only going to refer to two ideas, both
repetitions on this blog.
23 Mar 2013
St.
Thomas, following St. Augustine and opposing Pelagian or semi-Pelagian
naturalism, grasped the depth and the height of our Lord's words:
"Without Me you can do nothing," [1] and of St. Paul's words: "For it is
God Who ...

Happy
Feast of St. Monica. This is my favourite painting of St. Monica and
St. Augustine. God bless all mums and sons today and bring them all
closer to God. A mother's influence is great, for good or for evil. Let
us pray for all ...
