Description
There are never good reasons for wrong actions. Today, we read and learn about a part of Augustine’s life that proved significant to his moral formation: his theft of the pears. Doing his best to make sense of this sin, Augustine reflects on why man ever chooses evil over God’s goodness. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk warn us not to allow our sins and failures to act as stumbling blocks in our pursuit of God. Today’s readings are Book 2, Chapters 4-7.
