"In
397, or twelve years after his conversion, Augustine wrote his
Confessions, the greatest spiritual autobiography ever written. It is the work
of a teacher who explains, a
philosopher who thinks, and a theologian who instructs. It is the work of a
poet who achieves chaste beauty in the writing, and a mystic who pours out
thanks for having found himself in peace. " - Ven Fulton J. Sheen in his
biographical work, St Augustine of
Hippo
Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo (FULL Audio Book)
Excerpt (Confessions 10.27): "Too late have I loved You, O Beauty
so ancient and so new, too late have I loved You. You have called to me,
and have cried out, and have shattered my deafness.
You have blazed forth with light and have put my blindness to flight!
You have sent forth fragrance, and I have drawn in my breath,
and I pant after You. I have tasted You, and I hunger and thirst after You.
You have touched me, and I have burned for Your peace."
St
Augustine, pray for us!
