Bishop Robert Barron's: St. Augustine
Who wrote the first autobiography EVER?
He didn’t set out to earn this distinction.St. Augustine just wrote down his life story and shared how God found him and drew him closer to his divine self.
Watch this short video to learn how we can see our own story in St. Augustine’s:
An excerpt from
CHAPTER THREE
IN THE LIGHT OF THE MASTER
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy”82. Jesus does not say, “Blessed are those who plot revenge”. He calls “blessed” those who forgive and do so “seventy times seven” (Mt 18:22). We need to think of ourselves as an army of the forgiven. All of us have been looked upon with divine compassion. If we approach the Lord with sincerity and listen carefully, there may well be times when we hear his reproach: “Should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?” (Mt 18:33).
Seeing and acting with mercy: that is holiness.
